What software you need
Software option #1: Full editions of
Visual Studio 2010
To develop C# applications, you can use any of the
full editions of Visual Studio 2010, including the the
Professional Edition, the Premium Edition, or the Ultimate
Edition. All of these come with everything you need
to develop C# 2010 applications, including the Visual
Studio development environment, version 4 of the Microsoft
.NET Framework, C# 2010 (and Visual Basic 2010), and
a scaled-back version of SQL Server called SQL Server
Express.
Software option #2: Free editions of
Visual Studio components
You can download the following Express Editions of
Visual Studio software from Microsoft's web site for
free:
- Visual C# 2010 Express Edition
- SQL Server Express Edition
Together, these two products provide all of the components
you need to develop Windows applications in C# 2010.
You may note a few variations, though, when you're
using our book, which is based on the Professional Edition.
That's because Visual C# 2010 Express is a scaled-back
version of what you get in the full editions. So some
of its user interfaces are simpler than what you'll
see in the book. And a few of the features that are
covered in the book aren't available.
To make sure that these variations don't interfere
with your learning, this book carefully notes any differences
between the Express and full editions. The good news
is that all the skills that you learn and all the applications
that you develop with the C# 2010 Express Edition will
still work if you upgrade to one of the full editions
of VS 2010 later on.
