GamesRule Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 Hello everyone... this is my first post over here at .net forums but am a member at the joined site visualbasicforum.com I am just enquiring if i buy a copy of Visual Basic.net 2003 standard edition, does it come with a help file such as MSDN? or does it come with MSDN? The other thing, how long do you expect VB will keep going before people switch to .net Thanks Quote
*Experts* mutant Posted December 14, 2003 *Experts* Posted December 14, 2003 Yes, it comes will all the help files and references you will need :). In my opinion, VB6 won't keep going long once people see all the advantages .NET gives over VB6. Quote
GamesRule Posted December 14, 2003 Author Posted December 14, 2003 Thanks. I thought VB wouldnt be long but i wasnt sure on the help file part...im going to buy a copy soon then. Thanks Quote
*Experts* DiverDan Posted December 14, 2003 *Experts* Posted December 14, 2003 You might consider VB.Net Professional over VB.Net Standard. Vb.Net Professional includes may features that are sadly lacking in VB.Net Standard, like the ability to make dll's, something I really miss.

GamesRule Posted December 14, 2003 Author Posted December 14, 2003 How much is that? because I can see standard for £85 so what about professional? Quote

GamesRule Posted December 15, 2003 Author Posted December 15, 2003 Can I actually buy just VB.net Profressional on its own? I know I can get standard but have been recommended professional by a few people and I dont really need Visual Studio.net professional. Quote

*Experts* DiverDan Posted December 16, 2003 *Experts* Posted December 16, 2003 Really Derek, it was available in 2002...is this something useful that the evil empire has left behind, forcing us to over purchase?

*Gurus* Derek Stone Posted December 16, 2003 *Gurus* Posted December 16, 2003 There was never a "Visual Basic .NET Professional Edition". The following versions of Visual Studio .NET exist: Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Standard Microsoft Visual C# .NET Standard Microsoft Visual C++ .NET Standard Microsoft Visual J# .NET Standard Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Professional Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Developer Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect Quote Posting Guidelines
*Experts* DiverDan Posted December 16, 2003 *Experts* Posted December 16, 2003 My mistake, I guess I miss read the package...which happens often. I wish MS would package the Standard versions with 100% functionalility for each individual language, because $500.00 compared to $100.00 is quite a difference and definately falls into the category of forced over purchasing.

GamesRule Posted December 16, 2003 Author Posted December 16, 2003 I know. For Visual Studio.Net its £900 in the UK, and for Visual Basic.net on its own only £88? Slight difference. Quote
