Studio versions & development

No response in the vstudio.general group so...

I currently have Visual Studio 6 Enterprise and Visual Studio .NET 2003
Enterprise Architect installed. I am about to install Visual Studio 2005
Professional.

Is Visual Studio 2005 an upgrade/replacement for one or both of these
products?

In short, going forward with any new code being written, will Visual Studio
2005 handle all of my needs; both .NET coding and non-.NET coding?

It would be nice to finally have just one development studio.

Thanks.

Visual Studio 2005 will not replace or "upgrade" earlier products. It is a
completely separate installation, and should not interfere with the continued
operation of either of the two products you mention as having already
installed.

As Peter said, it's a completely independent install. You can have all of
them sitting side-by-side if you want.

Yes, 2005 should handle all those needs. It can create both .NET and normal
Win32 applications - but so could 2002 and 2003. What are you using VS6 for
now that you cannot use 2003 for?

Hello all, I have VS 2005 and SQL 2005 installed on my machine. However the "Getting Started" area of the Start Page shows SQL information instead of Visual Studio information when I start up Visual Studio 2005. Is there any way to reset the link to VS related info? I have tried reinstalling, uninstalling and reinstalling and it appears the installer does not remove the link from the registry. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
