Is it worth upgrading to C# 4.0

Possible Duplicate: Why should I upgrade to c# 4.0? Our projects are currently all C# 3.

Is there a way to attach a piece of metadata to a MySQL database? I'm trying to write code to automatically update the database schema whenever a code upgrade requires it.

We've got an older ASP.NET app written in VS 2005. I'd like to upgrade it to VS 2008, but still leave the old one around, in case I need to do development in it. It is also in Visual SourceSafe.
