I am a student and I have been using a copy of Visual Studio.NET 2003 Pro for a while now. I was able to purchase it for the student price of $99.00 US. I am now interested in buying the new Visual Studio 2005 and I am faced with a problem. The student discount for Visual Studio 2005 Pro is far less than it was for 2003. It is $749.95 US but the Standard Edition is only $49.95 US. What I am interested to know is if buying the Standard Edition will be enough for me having been using the Pro edition of the previous version. I use VB, C#, C++ and I do both desktop and mobile device programming. I do use a bunch of the pro features including XML and XML Schema. Does the standard version include a full set of Windows Forms controls? Will I lose any functionality with going to Standard Edition? Thanks in advance for all your advice.

Thanks for your help. Your example helped me out. I have now figured it out. Thanks again.

Do you happen to know where I could find some documentation on grabbing the window handle. I have never done that before. I am sort of new to all of this.

I'm sorry, I am not sure what you mean. Could you be a bit more specific. Thanks.

I have an old game that uses the fill screen to run. This would be fine and good if I still had a 640x480 screen resolution. Now, in the modern era there is a ton of wasted space. What I want to do is (for my own personal use so don't worry) is create a .NET app (VB or C#) to create a window to house this game. That way, I could play it without taking the full screen. Does anyone know how to wrap .NET around another program, effectively created a windowed app. Another way to put it is I want to launch this program inside of my .NET application. Thanks for you help.

Thanks. I will try that.

I want to display whatever is in the console or command prompt inside a text box in my gui app. I also want to be able to typ in commands in that same text box. Does anyone know how to do this? I would like to do this in VB or C#. Thanks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am trying to create a countdown clock for my Pocket PC and I have to working for the most part but the timer is very unreliable and I can't figure out why. It goes very fast for some reason. It went from a 1 minute countdown in about 16 seconds. Can anyone help me? I have included the code.LaundryTimer.zip
