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

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.
