Hello,
I want to purchase Visual Basic.NET for developing commercial standalone/client-server applications for small-business segment. I want to use Oracle Database 10g in future as database. My applications would be strictly database oriented with few applications for the Web.
I am puzzled as to which product should I buy which is cost-effective and sufficient for my needs. I visited Microsoft site and read short introduction of Visual Basic.NET 2003 Standard Edition. But it did not clearly define whether it is suitable for developing commercial database applications and include ASP and Web development features.
I don't want to buy complete Visual Studio.NET because I don't need languages other then VB.NET at present. Also it is quite costly.
Please let me know whether Visual Basic.NET 2003 is sufficent for all my needs. Since MSDN is not included with it, so I need to buy MSDN also.
I contacted Microsoft (India) for the same. They said that it is compulsory to buy at least 5 licenses in the begining. But I'll develop applications on 1 PC and I am the only user. So why would I need volume license?
Regards,
RK.
