.NET Forum / Languages / VB.NET / October 2007Need later version MSDN
Hello all. I have finally bitten the bullet and seriously started to learn VB.NET. I have the developement enviromnent installed and integrated my latest MSDN dated July 2005. If someone is thru with a later version ( say Oct 2006, Jan 2007 or so ) and would let me have it, I will gladly pay shipping and handling cost for it. Thanks in advance, Jim Richards You might consider using MSDN online wich has the same information and more as the installable version in fact it is so good that i don`t even bother to install the MSDN DVD , only requirment is a good stable internet connection http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx HTH Michel > Hello all.

Thanks in advance, Jim Richards Thank you Michael for the link (I added it to my favorites) to the MSDN. This poses a problem for me in that you know which topic to lookup to get help but I need it integrated with my IDE so that I can press F1 and it will find the appropriate help.

Well here on my Orange 20 Mbit connection it is acceptable , it only takes a few seconds also downloading from CONXION ( file servers from MS ) is verry fast here aprox 10 mbit To Cor : Get rid of your Planet account Cor, they are ripping you off ! i only pay 30 euros a month for a 20 mbit downstream and 1 mbit upstream connection inclusive free telephony , compared to 54 ,95 ADSL comfort from Planet with 6 Mbit down and 764 kb UP and a extra line fee to KPN of 18 ,-- euros a month and the standard telephony costs . Maybe we are just lucky here in the Netherlands , cause we have a verry good internet infrastructure michel >> ...because loading the Web-based version >> is incredibly slow. > > Absolutely!

No volume limit anymore, less costs, doubled speed (1Mbit before), so I am very happy with it. Not long ago 56K modem. I guess you are living at the upper end but that's by far not the standard. BTW, the page is really remarkably slow compared to others. Armin Michel, I know however it are forever the email accounts and webserver that are binding. But in my idea should a website even perform on 64Kb as you think that we are in the BeNeLux in a favour situation (in this case) because of our short distances (And one of the main nodes in Amsterdam). Cor > I know however it are forever the email accounts and webserver that are > binding. That is why i own my personal domain so i can hop to the most interesting provider without these problems i hold everything in my own hands domain control and e mail forwarding at Namezero , web hosting at Brinkster i only need my provider to get on the web and to act a.s passthrough gate this saved me hundreds of euro`s already and i own a impressive connection against minimal costs > But in my idea should a website even perform on 64Kb as you think that we > are in the BeNeLux in a favour situation (in this case) because of our > short distances (And one of the main nodes in Amsterdam). The huge data aware web applications that i wrote in the past, did work on modem connections however you needed a lot of patience :-) so in the end we gave up and required at least a double ISDN connection ( 128 Kb / sec ) because of the rich interface this was in fact a design choice ( required rich interface , required a higher bandwidth ) , i guess the standard now at MS is a medium broadband connection I also wonder how long it would take to download MSDN on a low level connection , we have( company i work for ) a MSDN universal subscription and receive it also by DVD wich we do not bother to install as we use the online version . i really thought that broadband was now everywhere afordable as it also seems to be the standard with Windows update well i am really sorry for one of you who needs to reinstall Windows XP pre SP2 and has no media for the updates :-) even from my side this takes at least half an hour extra installation time Michel ;-) > Michel, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Cor Herfried, I can use some company from an MVP as I tell that on certain places at Microsoft. :-) Cor "Jim Richards" <jimrichards@satx.rr.com> schrieb: > Hello all.
