Does Visual Studio 2010 Beta support .NET 2.0 projects?

What about opening SQL 2005 *.ndf files with the new IDE? (meaning mdf files included in the project like App_Data DBs in web applications etc.)

+2  A: 

Yes. VS2010 targets .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 (link)

DB projects have been somewhat superceded by the recent GDR R2 Database project release. It's a free download for team editions of Visual Studio 2008

This type of project was originally part of the database edition of Visual Studio.

It has the ability to import a schema from an existing database, perform schema compares, support multiple targets (System Test, UAT, Production, etc), perform TSQL static code analysis, and produce standalone deployment artifacts.
