upgrading to VB .net 2005

We currently own the first version of VS .net - the 2002 version. We would
like to upgrade to the 2005 version. We are not sure whether to go with the
standard or the professional version. Apparently the std. ver. does not
include Crystal reports - but we already own Crystal ver 9.0 anyway because
our accounting software required that. It appears that this is the on;ly
really big difference that we would care about anyway, so can we just
purchase the std. version of VS .net 2005 and use the version of Crystal we
already own and have Crystal be integrated the way it is in the 2005
version? or should we really be going to the pro version? We are cost
prohibited so the cheaper the better - and std. is a lot less money...

If anyone has any ideas in this area I'd love to hear them!!
Thanks,

Brad

The safest approach is to actually test it with an evaluation version:

It seems that curiously there is no evaluation version for the Standard
edition, so you may want to contact Microsoft to request one...

Hi, I have just used the import Wizard to import a VS 2003 app to VS 2005.

I have some rather large programs written in VB .net. I've been trying to find some information as to if they need to be upgraded to VB .net 2005 and how that would be done. I've been looking on the MS web site, there is some information on upgrading Visual Basic (not .net) to 2005 but not VB .net. Thank you in advance.

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,...
