Re: Questions about versions of VS (Standard, Professional)

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

I would use Linux except that this program has to run on Windows. I'd use
PHP except that I hate scripting languages, and some of the security
requirements are going to stringent enough that I don't feel as good about a
scripting language as a full-featured programming language. And I'm not
really wanting a web interface anyway.

Right now, I'm looking at going Borland, which I've used professionally
before. And it plays well with mysql.

Hi,

If you want to check out VS, you could try the express version and find
out if it does what you want it to. I think you'll find it frustrating
trying to use MYSQL as a back-end from Visual Studio.

Most people who choose MYSQL will chose non-Microsoft tools to develop
against it such as PHP and PERL and would use UNIX/LINUX instead of
Windows. This will give you a superior set of tools together with
standards compliance, and you'll also avoid vendor tie-in.

Will VS Standard have the tools I need to do this, or should I get
Professional?
