Upgrade to Standard or Professional Visual Studio 2005?

I am getting ready to upgrade from VS 2003 to VS 2005. I am creating
..NET applications for desktop PCs and for PocketPCs. From the
information on the Microsoft website, it appears that I could get away
with using the Standard Edition of VS 2005. I don't need many of the
extra features of the Professional Version, such as remote debugging.

The product feature comparison chart at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/pr...e/default.aspx
indicates that the Professional Version has a "Full" user experience
vs. a "Streamline d" user experience for the Standard Version; also,
the Deployment Tools are "Click once" for the Standard Version. Can
anyone tell me what this means in practical terms? The Pro Version
upgrade costs $300 more than the Standard upgrade and I would like to
know if this additional expense is justified for my own use.

Thanks,

JG

Hello, There are often questions in this newsgroup posted by VS.NET 2002 users. VS.NET 2002 is "out of date", its successor is VS.NET 2003. There is a special ("cheap") upgrade offer available for $29 US. This offer is open only until September 30, 2003. You will get more information about this offer here: Visual Studio .NET 2003 Upgrade Offer

I want to upgrade visual basic .net 2003 standar edition but there is no visual basic .net 2003 professional edition. Can I just buy the visual studio ..net 2003 professional UPGRADE version and upgrade my visual basic .net standard. Or do I have to buy the full license of visual studio. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Now that Visual Studio 2005 has been out a while I'm hoping that someone can give me some insight on what version to upgrade to (standard or professional). I went out on Microsoft's site and looked at the comparison chart and didn't find anything really significant between the two versions from my perspective. I have Visual Basic Professional 6.0 and have written a few standalone programs. No network, no databases just a few simple...

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

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,...
