be58d2003 Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 What is the difference between the two? Does the professional edition allow you to sell your product commercially? If I were to write an application in standard, and then later decided to get the professional edition, would I have to re-write the program in the professional edition or would the code remain the same?

*Experts* mutant Posted April 16, 2004 *Experts* Posted April 16, 2004 The code would remain the same. The big difference between the two is that VS.NET Pro allows you to work with all of the four official MS's .NET lanyguages: VB.NET, C#, MC++/C++, and J#. You can sell the software made in Standard, the only license that does not allow it is VS.NET Pro Academic. You can get more info here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/howtobuy/choosing.aspX Quote
be58d2003 Posted April 16, 2004 Author Posted April 16, 2004 Okay... now I understand it, but... my next question is, could I intially create a program where say... a portion of it was created in VB and then maybe another portion such as a class or module (please bear with me I am still quite new) was created in C++ be used interchangeably. I guess the best way to ask it, if I created one program, and inter-mixed the two languages... would the program work? I am just trying to explore my options here... I haven't upgraded to VB .NET 2003 (was going to this weekend), but I am wondering if I should hold out and save the $$$ to get the Professional Edition. Quote Firefighters do it with a big hose...
*Experts* mutant Posted April 16, 2004 *Experts* Posted April 16, 2004 You can't create one assembly (exe or DLL) using more than one language with VS.NET (any edition). If im not mistaken its possible using some advanced command line compiler options. Quote
*Gurus* Derek Stone Posted April 16, 2004 *Gurus* Posted April 16, 2004 Each project in Visual Studio .NET must be a single language, however a solution can have multiple projects, and therefore multiple languages. If you choose to develop using two or more languages, you'll likely want to use an n-tier or otherwise modular approach. Quote Posting Guidelines
be58d2003 Posted April 16, 2004 Author Posted April 16, 2004 Cool, thanks for the info. I guess for now I will just get the standard edition (lot cheaper), then once I master VB... then I'll move on. Quote Firefighters do it with a big hose...
iebidan Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 YEAH!!!!! go for the Enterprise Architect edition, is the coolest edition for VS .NET ;) Quote Fat kids are harder to kidnap
