.NET 2005 versus 2003 standard edition

Dear experts,

There is a lot of talk these days about .net.
I'm considering buying the software to pick it up.
Yet something else to learn!

I notice that you can get older standard version
..NET 2003 on the web. Much cheaper than the 2005 version.

How much different is 2003 standard edition to 2005?

I just want to get my hands dirty, and get familiar
with the product. Is most of the 2005 functionality
also found in 2003? Ie. most all of the same functions.

Or, is it a significantly different product, with
new and different paradigms to be concerned with?
And, I really should be concerned with 2005?

Thanks a lot

VS 2003 is .NET 1.1 and VS 2005 is .NET 2.0 (and 3.0).

At this point in time I think it would be a bad idea to
go for 2003/1.1 - you will be very frustrated when
you find examples on the net and they do not work
for you.

Get free VS 2005 express version, VS 2003 is too old now.

The 2003 product line, had the standard editions, you could only work with one single language, but, ASP.NET AND windows forms development was possible, and it wasn't that dumbed down. The price for a std edition: around 100$ Sadly, there isn't a true successor to those editions in the 2005 product line. There is a standard edition, but it costs 300$, although it supports now more than one language.

Hello, I am thinking of spending some holiday time reading the third edition of Programming C# by Jesse Liberty, using Visual C# .Net Standard 2003.

Hi, I use Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition with Visual SourceSafe 6.0d. But I could not find a way in this VS to exclude a folder, such as images folder, from SourceSafe. I can do this with VS 2003 Architect Edition. This function is also available in VS 2005 Team Suite. Would you please tell me how to do it in Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition? Thank you

Dear All, We have a database which contains many tables which have millions of records. When We attach the database with MS SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition Server and run some queries (having joins, filters etc.) then they take very long time to execute while when We execute same queries on Enterprise Edition then they run 10 times faster than on standard edition. Our database does not use any features which are present in Enterprise

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,...
