[AccessD] Access to VB.Net

Max,

I would go with the Visual Studio 2005.  It has vb.net as well as the other
visual languages - C#.net, asp.net etc.  You could go with vb.net however...

The vb.Net standalone has some important limitations.  It is designed as an
"introduction" to the .net environment to suck programmers (and non
programmers) in.  There are some slight syntax and capability differences
that will prevent your using the results should you need the higher powered
suite.

I own both and have worked in both but now focus on the Visual Studio side
since I discovered the limitations.  VB.Net is FREE, however as you are
looking to actually use the results the "free" is not a good compromise for
you I think.

Can I ask for some advice please.
I have been looking at getting VB.Net software and all I can find is either
Visual Studio 2005 or VB 2005.  Which one do I go for?  Is there something
other than these two that I have missed?
All I want is the VB.Net stuff so that I can start to learn how to convert
my existing apps to vb.net

Many thanks
Max
