Install C# Express after VS.NET 2005?

[Kyle K.]

I'm sure this has been asked before, but...

Is it possible to install Visual C# Express Edition AFTER installing
Visual Studio .NET 2005 Standard Edition?


I would like to develop some personal applications in C#, but don't want
to use Visual Studio since the license for it belongs to my employer
(possible legal issues with code ownership, etc.)

Thanks.

IIRC, the VS license allows you to install both at home and at work as
long as both copies are not being used at the same time. Secondly, I
don't think there is any way to determine which tool is used to build a
project. If you are using it at home, your company cannot possibly
know or have any claim to any code you do. Writing personal code at
work, unless sanctioned by your company, is a little risky anyway.

Good Luck

Good to know about the license allowing you to install it at home as
well as work, provided they aren't used at the same time.

I have a Laptop that I do all of my development on, and since it is
already configured I was planning on using it at home for my personal
projects so I didn't have to setup everything on the family computer.

Thanks for the help!
