VB Standard vs. VS Professional

[BostjanK]

Hi!

 

Can anybody tell me what are the main differences between Visual Basic .NET Standard and VB that is included in Visual Basic .NET Professional.

 

I've seen the differences on Microsoft's page, but I'd like to know more:

- what controls are available in VB Pro thatare not included in VB Standard

- Is Crystal Reports included with STandard edition

- How about data access - is ADO and/or ADO.NET available in Standard edition.

 

In Visual Studio 6 there are huge differences between Standard and Pro edition. Because I'm only using VB buying whole Visual Studio .NET Professional isn't rational decision for me (i'm not professional programmer).

 

 

Thanks for your answers,

Bostjan
