VB.Net Express

[Guest]

Where can I find the difference between VB.Net Express and VB.Net
professional...the Express version seems to have all that I need but just
wondered what I was missing.

There are 10 kinds of people - Those who understand Binary and those who
don't.

Thanks...exactly what I needed. Convinced me that I will never have any need
for anthing but the Express tools....saved me a bundle.

AFAIS not mentioned there:

- In the Express version, you don't have a "threads" window, debugging
multithreaded apps is impossible in practice.

- There is no native code debugging. Not only that there is no disassembly
window, but if you wanted to write (managed) DirectX applications, you can
not get the essential debug output from the DX debug runtime because there
is no "debug unmanaged code" switch.

For the first reason (and because I don't have the 2005 Standard version or
above), I'm still writing my apps in VB 2003.

Also, you don't have as many Project types as the Standard Edition and up
have. As well
as only having Click-Once Deployment.
