Sparda Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Don't microsoft have a half tendancy to call the carpist version of there products "<name of product> express". For example: "Outlook" and "Outlook Express". Most likly "visual basic 2005 express" means that it doesn't come with crystal reports, it may not even have intuative database access (not that the full version has that actualy). It may not even offer you to create DLLs or ActiveX or other such aplications. I'm just guessing based on other MS express products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyrancher82 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 The express versions of Visual Studio 2005 are cut down versions for hobby programmers, who don't need some of the things in Visual Studio. Microsoft also give them away free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metatron Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I have a MSDN Premium Subscription and get full versions of everything Microsoft puts out but anything with express tagged onto it’s name should go in the bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone wants to pay tons of money for something. If you're just a hobby programmer, and just want to mess around with code, I say use the express versions. Unless you want to pirate VS2005. /me shrugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 wot in instance is this framework exept from the empty sentence developers platform. The .NET Framework is to C# and the other .NET languages what the JVM is to Java. You need the one to be able to use the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
