.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / General / November 2006Visual Studio 2005 Standard vs Professional
On this web page that compares the different versions of Visual Studio: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/products/compare/default.aspx one of the things it says that is different between the Standard and Professional versions is in the "User experience" row, where it says that the Standard Edition offers: "Simplified menu options and defaults" whereas the Professional Version offers "Full" features. Could anybody say what this means in practice, please? Thanks. > On this web page that compares the different versions of Visual Studio: > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Could anybody say what this means in practice, please? Thanks. This means Pro version has a lot more configurable options.

If you are doing native win32 programming and need resources, Express wont cut it most of the time. > > On this web page that compares the different versions of Visual Studio: > > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > This means Pro version has a lot more configurable options. Yeah, I realise it offers more options, but could you give me an indication of what the difference is, please? >> This means Pro version has a lot more configurable options. > Yeah, I realise it offers more options, but could you give me an > indication of what the difference is, please? http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/faq/ Signaturefrancois.piette@overbyte.be The author for the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be >> > On this web page that compares the different versions of Visual Studio: >> > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Yeah, I realise it offers more options, but could you give me an > indication of what the difference is, please? >>> This means Pro version has a lot more configurable options. >> >> Yeah, I realise it offers more options, but could you give me an >> indication of what the difference is, please? > > http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/faq/ That's for the Express editions; the OP was asking about Standard. I couldn't even tell you myself to be honest, despite using Standard at home and Pro at work. I've never looked for something in the menus and noticed it wasn't there; but I'm restricted to native C++ development, so other languages might be different. I think it probably applies only to the defaults anyway, since you can customise the menus after installation. -- Andy > >>> This means Pro version has a lot more configurable options. > >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > That's for the Express editions; the OP was asking about Standard. Yes, I want the ability to use MFC, so I can't use the Express Edition. > I couldn't even tell you myself to be honest, despite using Standard at home > and Pro at work.
