Why do they have the Professional Upgrade for? Do you know by any chance?

Andy

 

[mutant]

Its for people that own eariler Professional version products, like VS.NET 2002 Professional or VS6 professional.

Can I use this upgrade if I own Visual Basic Professional 6 ?

 

[mutant]

Yeah, you will be able to use the normal upgrade version, if you are talking about the special one for $29 then you cant.

mutant:

What do you mean by " the special one for $29 " what cost twenty nine dollars?

 

[mutant]

Microsoft has a special upgrade for VS.NET 2002 users and it costs $29 for any version, even the 2002 standard versions which are the only standard versions that can be upgraded. I just mentioned this in case you thought about buying it and didnt know you need VS.NET 2002 for that upgrade.

Read Microsoft's site for what you can and cannot upgrade from.

As far as I know, "Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Professional Edition 2003 Upgrade" can upgrade Visual Studio 6.0.

divil:

I do not have Visual Studio 6.0.

I only have Visual Basic Professional 6.

will it still work can I use the upgrade?

I tried Visual Studio @ Microsoft site and they do no have this information.
