VC# 2005 Express Edition or VS 2003?

[Jeremy Haage from MCAM NorthWest]

I think this may have been covered before, but is it possible to use VC# 2005 Express edition or VC# 2003 (visual studio 2003 professional) with the new .NET 2.0 API?

 

On this computer I only have VC# 2005 Express Edition and started working with the .NET 2.0 Samples & Examples. On the first step of the read me first.doc file for installation it is walking me through some settings that don't appear the same in VC# Express. Just curious if the express edition has what it takes to go through those samples & examples.

 

I do have VS 2003 Professional but wasn't sure if that is going to work either.

Oops! Guess it was just my mistake. I had the whole solution selected in the solution explorer and it showed me different options under the "Project" Menu. I selected the NetHook2Example folder and got the same menu options as the doc file has documented.

 

I'm still curious though if I'm going to run into limitations with any of these basic samples & examples with the express edition.

You can use the [insert language here] 2005 Express Editions for developing Mastercam add-ons.

 

BTW, you cannot use VS 2003 Professional. You'd need the 2005 version.
