I was VS.NET waaaaaaaaaaaaaah

What does your job involve that VS.NET would benefit you? Identify it, write up a report using it as justification for the purchase, and submit it. If you've done so and it was ignored or denied, then ask why; i would think they would tell you. Most likely, it is just too early to justify such a move yet; after all, it's only been released within the past 6 months! yeah, i know, i'm not supposed to answer rhetorical questions... it's just a bad habit... --------

Life is fraught with opportunities to keep your mouth shut.

I have it on good authority that MS is bringing out a free IDE for .NET soon (to join the several open source ones) and the framework is free, so technically you can use it. :-O Cheers, Simon "Every good work of software starts by scratching a developer's personal itch.", Eric S. Raymond

That can't be it. He's got a huge 15" monitor. Some of us are stuck with teensy little 14" monitors.:((

Do you "want" VS.NET or "was" you VS.NET? If you was VS.NET, what are you now?

Tell them it will make you guy more productive, and it will make the company tons of cash. :) After a poor performance in London in 1899, Steinitz went insane and died a year later on August 12, 1900 at Wards Island, N.Y.

The Project Manager has also mailed the Real Boss in the US about it. But nothing's happening. I am waiting and waiting endlessly. Everytime I raise the issue they say that they have corresponded with the boss. Blast!!! Nish

Another case of depression caused by VS.NET. Will it never end? When will they just give it out for free and make the world a happier place?
