  Did anybody make it to insert an object with a TimeStamp field. When I try db.SubmitChanges() throws me: Argument types do not match.

In the file history dialog there is no delete button.  There appears to be no simple way to delete unwanted versions.  I could delete ALL the history by getting ...Show All

  I've created a plugin system that routes calls from clients into the particular .Net assembly they request. This will always be late-bound.
