Re: Do I need Pro or Dev Edition of .NET ?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

You make some good points. I have contacted the Dev company to ask, as at
this time, I do not have access to the source code (and no ide to view it in
anyways). Its a Web App (c#,asp.net) connecting to a SQL 2000 backend. They
have made a .DLL to handle Database connections and data manipulation. The
thing is, they being real cagey with me, as they do not want anyone but
themselves to work on the App. They seem to think they going to get a big
juicy maintenance contract, and they forgte that my employer specified that
"we" own the code in the contracts.
