I used Npgsql 2.0 last and it was slow when querying database to populate DataGridView or DropDownLists in Windows Forms application. To verify, I removed Npgsql and installed pgsql's ODBC driver. It worked very fast.
In another case, when the user brings focus on any DropDownList, the list fills with filtered records. This filling was slow when compared to the ODBC driver.
I checked Npgsql latest release on this page of PgFoundry. When you all are saying that Npgsql's last release was 9, I suspect whether I am looking the latest release on a correct website or not.

The Ngpsql driver isn't old. They've released updates to it all through version 8 and 9 so far as I know. We do some .Net work against Postgres and it seems to work for what we're doing.
Indeed, the latest release seems to be less than a month old..... It does seem the project could release news items more frequently though. ;-)

Yeah, I agree with you. Sorry for that.
On the good side, we released a new beta last week. :)
