How do you create a project when you don't have Visual Studio

Good morning,
I'm reading "Programming Microsoft Windows with Microsoft
Visual Basic .NET" by Charles Petzold.

I have Visual Studio installed but it is now expired (as
an aside, I can not remove it, bummer).

I seem to be in a "Catch-22" situation...the book states
the following: "...if you're running Visual Basic .NET as
opposed to Visual Studio. NET, you'll need to add two
small files to your installation if you want to follow
the steps I describe in this book. These files are named
VisualBasicEmptyProject.vsdir &
VisualBasicEMptyProject.vbproj. Copy both these files to
this direcory...: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio .NET\vb7\VBProjects..."

As mentioned previously, I did install the trial version
of Visual Studio (what a battle to get this, btw) but it
is now expired and can not be removed (bummer).

But the directory specified is there but the two files
mentioned are not.

If I download the two files (which I tried and could not
do -- this is getting better and better) and place them
into the specified directory -- but if I try to execute a
project I don't know what to specify as the opening
program.

This is so frustrating -- I'd appreciate any help...

Thank you,
Pat

or download WebMatrix, a free Framework IDE from
http://www.asp.net/webmatrix/

This program does not use then code behind method of programming, but can be
configured to do so.

You will have to obtain the full version of VS.NET or VB.NET.

This will only work for web applications, or did I miss something?
