    I think the Express Edition doesn't have code snippets (yeah, there are some in the paid version) and you can only make programs, while paid vb.net allows you to create DLLs and other kinds of projects...

    I Don't really know what code snippets are really. What makes DLLs so good?

    Oh, I don't remember about code snippets but I'm completely sure you cannot make DLLs in Express edition, otherwise I wouldn't have downloaded the full version...

    you could in 2008 with C# the only other language you probley would need to use other than vb.net. But you can make a dll using vb.net but in a semi workaround way
    normqal one is probley professional or just visula studio, but that is a few hundreed dollars, there are alot of different features but you won't have any need to use any of them unless you are programin for profession

    DLL is the abbreviation of Dynamic Link Library. It is a file that is imported by other applications to use the functions of the DLL.
    Google is your friend.

    Also, if you program in x64 like I do, Express doesn't give you the option to execute code in x86... I had that problem for a while, then found out that you had to change the compiling processor type... and the full version was the only one that could change that....
