VS 2003 or 2005 ???????

Well I am back. I am trying to back into the developing world. I have done a
ton of the old visual studio developing. Now I see there is visual studio dot
net 2003 and 2005. So my question is do I invest time with the 2003 version
or just start working with the 2005 version. I am a universal subscriber with
Microsoft so I have access to all tools. Now if I do go down the path of 2005
is there a allot environment changes I need to do to get it to work
correctly. And I am open to any good resources for 2005 training information.
books or videos.

William,

VS2003 has a lot of documentation by instance for VB in the VB resource kit
and in an enormous endless amount of websites.

So for learning purpose I would take that until that the documentation in
VS2005 is complete.

It is forever anoying learning a language while there is not enough
information.

While at the moment you have learned enough to do it without the
documentation VS2005 is probably ready.

Just my thought of it.

I sent some 2005 beta version test pages to my web host. They failed,
apparently because their server did not support 'compile with' (which I
understand is new in 2005). Another page that referred to an XML document
also turned terminally turtle. I have stuck with 2003 as pages created with
it work fine with my web host.

The only problem with VS.Net 2005 at the moment is that it is a beta. It
might change before it's released, and, AFAIK, there is no "go live" license
so you won't be able to release anything you compile with it until Ms
releases the final version. So, unless you are willing to wait on
Microsoft's unknown schedule...

WWW.TechnicalVideos.Net has .Net, SQL Server 2000 and Flash MX
training videos for $19.99. Might be worth a look for you

At a recent MSDN conference, one of the presenters vehemently said that VS.NET 2003 (because of its web project) is only good for _single_ developers. He said that if you're working in a team environment (i.e. more than one developer), VS.NET 2005 is the way to go. We are currently developing on classic ASP and want to move to ASP.NET soon. But hearing that comment, our team of 5-10 developers might want to wait for the release of...

Hi there, I have one another question on VSS 2005 and VS 2003. We had few projects built in VS 2003 and we had all of those projects under the VSS 6.0 until now. But as part of our development environment up gradation our idea is slowly move few projects from VSS 6.0 to VSS 2005. As a test we did move an ASP.NET project that was built in VS 2003 project (no solution file) from VSS 6.0 to VSS 2005 and the move was successfully (not...

Hello all, I have VStudio 2005 currently installed on my workstation. However, I am collaborating on a project with an outside consultant who is using VS 2003. Every so often he sends me new or updated modules to add to the project and I will send him my updates so that we stay in synch. I tried loading the project (solution) into VS 2005 and it warned that changes would be made that would result in incomptibility with VS 2003.
