Difference between VB.Net Professional and VB.Net Standard Edition

Brian Cryer

Appologies if someone thinks this is slightly off topic, but I think viewers
of this newsgroups are best placed to answer my question - which is what are
the main differences between VB.Net Professional and VB.Net Standard
Edition. (Yes I have read the page on the microsoft site about VB.Net
Standard and the differences with Professional but it is rather vague.)

I use VB.Net Professional at work. I have a friend who I am hoping to do
some development with outside of work, but he doesn't have VB.Net
professional and his budget won't stretch to VB.Net proessional but it will
cover VB.Net Standard Edition. What I am curious to know is that if we were
to use VB.Net Standard Edition then what features would I miss that I'm
currently used to?

For example, will VB.Net Standard Edition let me do the following:
o User Controls
o Custom Web Controls
o Database stuff
o Deply any applications developed
or is there anything else that I haven't listed that it wouldn't do?

Thanks in advance,

Brian.

There is no VB.NET Professional Edition, it's VS.NET Professional Edition
and includes VB.NET, C#, C++, MC++, and J#.
For example, will VB.Net Standard Edition let me do the following:
o User Controls
Yes.
o Custom Web Controls
Not tested, but I assume it does.
o Database stuff
Yes. But server explorer is limited to MSDE databases, AFAIR.
o Deply any applications developed
Yes, but there is no wizard, there is only a setup project template.
or is there anything else that I haven't listed that it wouldn't do?

No creation of class libraries.

Difference between Professional and Enterprise?

Is the main difference between the Visual Studio .NET Professional and Enterprise editions the inclusion (in Enterprise) of : 1. SourceSafe, 2. Visio (Architect), and (3) Win2003 Server integration? Also, if Professional doesn't include SourceSafe, but you ALREADY have SourceSafe, can you still use it within the Professional IDE? My guess is 'NO', since the Professional doesn't include the IDE integration DLLs for SourceSafe, but am just...

Performance Difference between SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition

by: Nishant Saini | last post by:

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

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

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,...
