Difference between Express and Professional
-
Hi All I have been using the express editions for a number of years now and have been considering purchasing a professional edition. Can any body tell me what the differences are between the express editions and the professional editions of VS2012? In other words what extra am I getting for my money if I purchase? Regards

The professional editions include things like resource editor, MFC, managed C++ etc. The best thing to do is to look at the Microsoft product descriptions and check which extra features you actually need.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

One of the big differences between the two is in the fact that you can't host plugins/extensions in Visual Studio Express. If you see a plugin that you absolutely must have, then you have to be using a paid version of Visual Studio.
