AARRRGGHHHH what am I missing?

This may seem obvious to all but me. I thought I had enough info to get started here but alas no go. I've got the LINQ technology preview installed with VS 2005.NET.....

When I enter code such as this

var oneevent =
from d in ibotree.TblBEvents
where d.lngEventTypeFK=55
Select d;


I get no syntax hilighting on the keywords "var", "from", "select" like it isn't recognizing the extensions.....

Any help on this is greatly appreciated. I'm kind of at a loss.

    When you start up VS do you get a warning about this being a preview compiler

    If not, try going to Program Files\LINQ Preview\bin and executing the Install IDE Support cmd. Please keep in mind that the IDE support is very minimal at the moment.
