Has anyone been able to debug with VS2005?

Actually, I only program D from within VS2005!

I use the vsplugind found on dsource, but that's only needed for building 
right from VS. Just for debugging, you don't need anything. Compiling your 
program using dmd -g will add the needed symbols to the obj/exe and VS will 
understand them! Arrays are shown as 64-bit integers, but when seen in hex, 
it's obvious what part is the count and what the pointer. Alternatively, you 
can take the array's address and cast it to a int*.

For syntax highlighting you should add .d to the extensions list in the 
options dialog, and let VS treat it as C++ or C#. Missing keywords can be 
added using a text-file called usertype.dat with a keyword on each line. It 
goes in the VS "IDE" folder, if I'm not mistaken, but better google to 
duoble check that (no VS2005 here at home).
