I've just seen the ad and the download page.
1) what are you missing if you use these as opposed to full version of
Visual Studio?
2) can you install all the express editions on the same computer?
I mostly do wsh scripting and I'm assuming the vb edition will support this
with intellisense... which, well, makes me want to jump up and down :).
However I do also occasionally do some vb.net/asp.net/csharp.net projects
and used visual studio 2005 at a previous employer. If I had to guess I'd
say there is likely no visual source safe support, which is fine with me,
but what else don't you get?
I'm going to start the dvd iso download now. I'm actually in the middle of a
scripting project right now and I'm using notepad++. Anyone care to share
the bottom line on these express editions? 21 976

You might also find some limitations with 3rd party tools. I use VWD Express
and cannot use reports from a certain 3rd party company. This information is
not going to be documented specifically in the Microsoft web sites.

They have different license agreements which you may want to look
into, but essentially it boils down to: Express editions are idea for:
students, hobbyist, special case development scenarios (XNA Game
Studio is the only example of this). Professional and Enterprise
editions are going to be appropriate (and the only legal option) for
most Microsoft development scenarios.

What do you mean by "the only legal option")? There are no legal
restrictions on any programs you create with the Express editions.
You can sell them, rent them, or give them away at your discretion.

There have been cases were third-party component developers got into
legal trouble with Microsoft by trying to support Visual C# Express,
apparently Microsoft has a pretty strict policy on allowing third-
party controls not being allowed (see reference on testdriven.net
below). Witht he ability to only connect to SQL Server Express edition
and crippled debugging features, Express editions are a poor choice
for enterprise development because of their lack of integration
features and probably a poor choice for most professional development
scenarios in general. When I said "the only legal option" I was
refering to steps a developer might take to circumvent these
limitations to make the product more featured which would put them in
violation of the license agreement (see testdriven.net case).
I'm not aware of any legal constraint that would stop someone from
selling their Visual C# Express creations or even using Visual C#
Express for Professional I just don't see it being practical in the
later

That's rather rude and uncalled for now isn't it.

In regard to the question "Can you install multiple express editions
on the same system", the answer is Yes.
re:
!You might also find some limitations with 3rd party tools
Not "some", but "all".
There's *no* support for addins in the Express editions.
The EULA clearly says so.
re:
!This information is not going to be documented specifically in the Microsoft web sites
Again, the Express Editions' EULA clearly says so.

who said I was speaking *only* of the web development version? I know web
development has nothing to do with WSH, I never said or implied it did.
There is also a vb specific version (non web specific), with which there
*is* a builtin template for a WSH file. But as I said, I'm disappointed
there is no intellisense for vbscript + wsh. Maybe I'm missing a setting or
something. There is of course intellisense for vb.net project files.
intellisense for writting WSH files (.vbs or .wsf) would be awesome.
Anyway, I appreciate the post with link to product comparison, which did
ultimately lead me to finding the current one, which is: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstu.../cc149003.aspx
I still think its great there are these free versions of VS. I didn't
realize they existed.

VBS is reasonable close to VB6.
But it has very little to do with VB.NET, so it should
not come as s surprise that the VBS support in a VB.NET IDE
is very limited.

ya, you are right. Hey MS, how about adding an 'Automation and Scripting'

Can't you simply add a reference (COM) to 'Microsoft Scripting Runtime'?
That'll give you intellisense and the rest. Not sure what kind of scripts
you're running....
'Then, you'd get to use syntax like....
Private moDictionary As Scripting.Dictionary
Once you create an instance, moDictionary(dot) will show its
methods/properties
Whatever the case, you're probably aware that a lot of people (network
admins, for sure) disable scripting support on their workstations.

Not likely. MS has taken a lukewarm approach to
VBScript lately. They're pushing "Power Shell" for
admin. scripting (console mode is the new black :)
and of course VBS never did make it for anything
client-side on the Web. But more to the point, VBScript
deals in COM, using pretty much any COM object with
a Dispatch interface. .Net is not COM-based. It uses a
different system to make objects available. (Note that
the vast majority of .Net objects are not usable in VBS.) This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
