Has anyone been able to debug with VS2005?

I think you're correct. My memory is a bit foggy, but I think I did try out 
a D sample program briefly a while back using VS2003 (v 7.1)  and I was able 
to set breakpoints in the source window.  With CS2005, I can see variables 
but can't set breakpoints in the source window. So perhaps Microsoft changed 
the format of their debug info or something.
