Include Visual Basic.NET

[Curt Emich]

I just bought a copy of the Visual C#.NET deluxe learning addition. It
included the .NET framework and the capacity to develop in C#. It looks
like I can't do anything in Visual Basic.NET until I install it. Is there
anywhere I can download this part of the Visual Studio.NET environment?

Also I thought it was possible to develop an app using both C# and Visual
Basic. The environment makes it look like my project has to be one or the
other.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Only Visual Studio .Net Professional (and higher editions) supports both C#
and Visual Basic. You could buy a copy of Visual Basic .Net (Standard
Edition or Learning Edition), although you might have to open separate
instances of Visual Studio to work with VB and C#.

Alternatively, you can download the .Net SDK for free, which will allow you
to compile VB.Net and C# code. However, you have to edit the code in a text
editor (like Notepad) or a third-party editor.
