Using Delphi 2006 to access .NET 2.0

I was browsing the Internet today when I came across Daniel Wischnewski's blog. There's a nice entry about using Delphi 2006 (alias Borland Developer Studio 2006 or BDS 2006) to access .NET 2.0. This can be done by using the DCCIL.exe command-line compiler that ships with Delphi, and by using the --clrversion parameter.

Okay, that's nice, and lets you access the .NET 2.0 libraries, but still, the compiler itself only emits .NET 1.1 code, which means there's no support for generics, Edit & Continue, and so forth. That said, Daniel's post is good in that it raises awareness of this compiler and the said command-line switch, but other than that, I'm more interested in the next version of BDS, i.e. "Highlander".
