upgrade from VS2008 standard to VS2008 pro- options?

I received a copy of VS2008 Standard Edition at a recent MS launch event. I
need to test some code for MS Office (Excel) and also update a program I
wrote in VS2003 for a mobile device (still to run on the same, ancient
mobile device).

I did a search for VS2008 upgrades, but the search returned an overwhelming
number of upgrades from earlier versions of VS to VS2008, rather than any
upgrade options from 2008 standard to 2008 pro.

Questions:
(a) Does anyone know whether the MS Launch event copies of VS2008 standard
are upgrade-eligible?
(b) Can anyone point me to information on upgrading within the VS2008
family?

Many thanks,
Keith

I would like to upgrade from XP Home to Professional. However, I get the following error message: "Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer is newer than the version on the CD". Ultimately, I want to upgrade so that I can install IIS for the purpose of developeing ASP.NET applications. Thanks in advance, Ryan

I don't need many of the extra features of the Professional Version, such as remote debugging. The product feature comparison chart at...

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...

When will I be able to buy the upgrade from vs 2003 pro to vs 2008 pro? I don't have an msdn subscription. Also I was going to use the trial version of vs 2008 in the interim but vs 2008 pro trial is not released yet. Does anyone know when it will be?

I was told that SqlServer express should get installed when VS2008Pro is installed (that is it is on the same DVD). I had a couple of errors during vs2008's installation and I don't see any signs of sqlserver. Is SqlServer Express suppose to get installed when VS2008 Pro is installed? Or should I download SqlServer and installed it that way?

If I understand correctly, the framework version and Visual Studio version are not intertwined? Assuming so, how do I (first) find out what framweork my VS2005 ASP.NET application is targeting (think its 2.0 currently)? Then, how do I "make it" use the 3.5 Framework? I know if I opened the project using VS2008, it would prompt me to upgrade, but I need to do this from VS2005.

I have to take this personally now. Tooltips have been flakey since the dawn of .NET, but to still have to put up with a disappearing tooltip in VS 2008 is getting beyond a joke. Tooltips have always done this, so isn't it about time they were fixed? I have a tooltip that I assign to a button control on my form. I hover over the button and up pops the tooltip. I move away and the tooltp fades. I hover again, and back comes the tooltip....

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,...
