Sorry for the offense (if I cause any!) ...

I am a long-term Delphi programmer, but a new customer _really_ wants to work with .Net,
and frankly I don't fancy trying to use Delphi.Net.

I am looking at moving to Visual Studio for this project, but I would love to take EDB
with me. I know there are ODBC drivers ... but will there be full EDB components for VS
anytime soon??

There has been a 100% managed-code EDB .Net Data Provider for VS for some
time now:

I think you'll find the EDBDataCursor class to be very familiar:

Adam,

Delphi.NET is actually deprecated now.   However, Delphi Prism was just
released.   RemObjects made a product called Oxygene, which was a Visual
Studio language plug in that let you program in Object Pascal on the .NET
platform.  Delphi.NET gave you the advantage of the VCL for .NET, but that
has been abandoned.

I've got the new Prisim and its pretty nice.  There is some getting use to
the language changes, but its not that bad.

With EDB's .NET Data Provider in tandem with Prism...  That will make a nice
solution, letting you go .NET under Visual Studio and still keep the Object
Pascal skills.
