you have to decide if the feature are worth it. you can do it all for free
if you want.
the .net sdk is free, and includes all the compilers, asp.net and a
debugger. .
if you need an ide, web matrix for asp.net is free, or you can use the
eclipse ide with its c# plugin. though for a $100 the standard edition is
ok. what you don't get is sqlserver (though you can use msde), and source
control.
for source control, look at cvs (sourceforge.net) which is much more
advanced than sourcesafe. while at sourceforge, pick up nunit for unit
testing, and nant for build scripts.

| MS Visual C# .NET Standard Edition 2003 - G78-00077
|
http://www.buy.com/retail/product.as...0&loc=105&sp=1
|
| ...is a viable alternative to buying the fulling visual sutie which will
| cost nearly a $1000?
|
| I assume I will be able to:
|
| 1. write simple C# apps with it
| 2. Leverage custom components
| 3. Write for .ASP.net
| 4. Compile etc
|
| ....is there any 'anything' suspect with this package offered above?

| Thanks
