The Visual Studio 2005 Express products are limited use versions of Visual Studio that allow you to build .NET Framework based applications. These are similar to Visual Studio 2005, but they have reduced functionality. The Express editions are not addon's to Visual Studio. The final pricing and features that will be in the various Express editions have not been finalized. The beta 1 versions of the various Express products are freely downloadable today.

If you are not familiar with the Visual Studio 2005 Express products please visit http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/.

From http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/, "The Express products,
expanding the Visual Studio product line to include lightweight,
easy-to-use, easy-to-learn tools for hobbyists, enthusiasts, and novices who
want to build dynamic Windows applications and Web sites."

There's more information through the links on that page.

More like lightweight versions of some of the Whidbey functionality (or
Visual Studio 2005 funcationality, to be correct).

I don't know how much Microsoft is planning to price Visual Web Developer Express Edition. I heard rumors from free to $100. In my opinion I think it should make it free. The reason is to attract as many people to .NET and ASP.NET. This includes people who are in the Linux world using free IDE's like Eclipse and the people who are thinking of switching from Windows to Linux because Linux and Linux tools are free. Even if MS prices it at...

What is the future of VB express? We're doing an app in VB2003 and like some of the VB controls in VS2005. Is VB Express a serious product? Let's face it, the price makes me wonder? Free is never forever ;) I don't have an issue with buying VB2005, but I don't see it. What's with the express version? Is it another way of saying betazoid? Will usoft support those of use that use VB express when VB2005 comes out? Thanks,

My main dev machine has WinXp and VS2005 (pro). 1. I need to install VWD Express Edition so that I can do some instruction on this. Any issues with both on the same machine. Installation order? 2. Does VWD Express Edition support the idea of Solutions? I coun't figure out how to create a blank solution which I usually do with VS2005 (and then add my web site to the solution.)

I've just installed my new Visual Studio 2005 Pro, after realising that the web express edition didn't do all I wanted. I was surprised to see that no product activation was required. Why is this? Have I installed it wrongly? I assumed all new product would require internet activation. Or should I have removed the web express edition first? JJ

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. 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.
