VB Express

[Jon Brunson]

Is VB/C# Express totally free? Or are there catches?

Assuming you want to develop device projects with it as you have posted in
this group, a limitation of the Express Editions is there is no support for
Compact Framework applications - for this you need at least VS2005 Standard
or higher (Currently VS2003 Professional or higher for .NETCFv1)

So, presumably, it has all the features of the current VB/C# 2003
Standard editions? Only with support for the new SQL stuff, rather than
MSDE?

I was thinking for home, this could be quite useful, rather than, er,
borrowing a copy form work ;o)


PS. I ment to post this on the .framework group, not cf; but nm )
