VB.NET Standard Edition

[RPK]

I want to buy VB.NET Standard Edition. I want to know whether I can use it
for commercial development for small-to-medium sized business applications.
Someone told be that Standard Edition cannot be used for commercial
development. But VB.NET Professional Edition is not there, and I don't need
all the features of Visual Studio.NET Professional.

Regards,
Rohit.

AFAIK you can develop with any of the editions except the student editions.

Standard, Professional, or Enterprise should be OK...

That's right. However, note that Standard edition's data access
functionality within the IDE is reduced compared to Professional edition,
and that project templates for class libraries and setup wizards are
missing. Although VS.NET Professional is more expensive, it's more suitable
for a "professional" developer's work.
