.NET Framework - MS Visual Studio 2005 Pro Ed

Asked By Dr T

Hi!

I downloaded MS Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition, MS .NET
Framework SDK v2.0, and MS SQL Server 2005. Subsequently, I bought MS
Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition.

1) Are both the MS Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition and the
MS Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition used to develop .ASP
applications?

2) Do I have to uninstall any of the software that I downloaded before
I can install the MS Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition?

Thank you!

The VWD in VS 2005 Pro is exactly the same application as VWD Express,
but they are used to develop ASP.NET applications, not ASP applications.

re:

No. You don't have to uninstall the .NET Framework SDK v2.0 nor MS SQL Server 2005.
The .NET Framework itself will stay installed if you install VWD.

I would uninstall VWD Express, anyway.

You don't want over 1/2 a GB just taking up space for nothing,
since the exact same application is built into VS 2005 Pro.

The difference is that you'll have a host of other features
you didn't have whenyou only had VWD Espress.

Here's what VWD doesn't support when installed stand-alone :

Source Control
Local database development only ( can't modify db's remotely from the IDE )
No Class Designer
No Object Test Bench
No Crystal Reports ( you must use SQL Reporting Services )
No remote debugging ( local only )
No 64-bit Compiler Support
No Server Explorer ( servers node )
No Code profiling
No Static analysis analysis
No Unit testing
No Code coverage
No Project Management
No Test case management
No support for command-line Class Library ( must compile manually )
No development for Office programs

Of course, with VS 2005 Pro, you can also write Windows and Console programs
using VB.NET, C# and C++, which you couldn't write with VWD Express.

Use of Mid Statement in VB.Net .NET Framework Hi All If anyone has the time, I think feedback on the following eg aba format. The beauty of the old VB6 Mid statement (which is available in VB.Net) is that it allows me to replace n chars at a specified position in a mfRecordType Mid(buffer, pointer, MyFields.mfTransactionType ) = "AB" pointer + = mfTransactionType 'etc etc There appears no native VB.Net equivalent to this method. The StringBuilder Class does not have this method either. It should as used above) for the Mid Statement in VS (any language)? Thanks for your time.

I'm told that VB6 code, when well written, can be ten times faster than vb.net, but that if its badly written it can be ten times slower. Is that correct my code will be quite well written, and I don't want to move to vb.net if well written VB6 code is ten times faster. Have I been told the truth? Or do I need to look into this further? Mike VB.NET Discussions Vista (1) StringBuilder (1 VB.NET (1) VB (1) Visual (1) Correct (1) Report (1) Check (1) Hi Mike, Great to

Microsoft developed C# specifically for the web. VB.NET was developed and remains being developed using C#. What motivated me to choose C# was the indisputable fact that web development is a client-server paradigm and as such separate language skills are needed for client-side and server-side

but we are not sure what we should port them to. I know nothing of Office development, but I do now Visual Studio .NET and have done a lot of ASP .NET development and some Windows .NET development. I would like to port the applications to C and use SQL Server for a the DBMS. Most important however is to get away from having to run specific user being logged in. The output must be in Excell. The database must be SQL Server2005 or Access but SQLServer2005 is the preference. The programming language shold be C# but
