Trouble making componants

[Denaes]

Anyone know which versions of VB.Net can create componants?

 

I have vb.net standard and educational and I seem to be lacking that option on the project list.

 

Is that a professional or studio only thing?

User Control Library

 

Start a new project and select windows control library and a new usercontrol form is the only item in the project.

 

If the standard or educational versions allow this, I don't know, but that is where I do it in professional.

Thanks.

 

I don't have a windows control library.

 

I don't know 100% which version I'm running.

 

I got VB.Net Educational (Actually it doesn't say eductional anywere, maybe its working) Standard with "Schneiders VB.Net Programming" textbook for a college course.

 

An old employer bought me VB.Net when I told him to buy me VB6 for a project because it was cheaper.

 

I'm not even sure which version I have on my computer right now.

 

How much is Visual Studio supposed to cost? My current employer wants to purchase VS.Net for me, and they say its cheap (like $200 cheap), which has me thinking its an educational version or something.

 

The only reason I'd need another version are the special features like these componant projects and .dlls, etc.
