Could somebody tell me which features are NOT in the Visual C# Express edition but are in the normal one ? The Microsoft website only tells what is in, but not what is missing. Can you do something productive with it, or are essential parts missing ?
You can find this via google. The bottom line is that if you're on a budget, and you're buying it for home use, it makes sense to get the Standard version.

No User Control designer support, no add-ins, each "language" has a separate application (VC#, VC++, VWD, etc.), but there are surely more features that the Express editions don't support.

Visual Studio 2008 Product Comparison[^]. Personally every important thing I use is missing from the express packages so I've never even bothered to really look at them.

Currently no support for the Silverlight 2 Beta dev tools (or is that the other way round?).

Depends on how serious you are, £270 (US$500*) for occasional hobby programming just isn't worth it. * - edit: Bastards! It's only $270 if you buy it in the US. Complete bastards.

Can you imagine how much the Pro version is if standard is equivalent to $500? Geeze.

I'm largely language agnostic

:wtf: MSDN Pro (with VS Pro) subscription costs only 170$ more!

Ha, you don't have an exchange rate of R7.73/USD. :( That works out close to my house payment.

The only things I miss from the Express editions is: 1. No multiple different projects in a solution. 2. No support for source control.
xacc.ide - now with TabsToSpaces support

Has there ever been support for reliable source control?

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4a out now (29 May 2008)You can, in fact, have multiple projects in a solution. They just have to be the same language. If you can't see the solution in the solution explorer, go to Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions and check "Always show solution". Then you can right-click on the solution and select Add->New Project...

Hence why I said "No multiple different projects in a solution." I guess 'mixed' would have been a better choice of word.

The higher price is to offset the cost of translating from American to English. :-D
