What software you need
To develop Visual Basic applications, you can use any
of the full editions of Visual Studio 2005. All of them
include the Visual Studio IDE, version 2.0 of the Microsoft
.NET Framework, Visual Basic 2005 (and C# 2005), and
a scaled-back version of SQL Server.
At one time, Microsoft also offered free Express Editions
of these components. But those editions are no longer
available. So unless you have access to them through
a school or training environment, you'll have to buy
a full edition of Visual Studio 2005...which is increasingly
hard to find as well.
