Visual Studio Express vs Proffesional vs Ultimate

[Derek275]

I was just wondering the differences and if it was worth the money to upgrade. Also, with anything better than express, in a project, can I make one firm in VisualBasic, another in C#, and yet another in F#? (Depending on my coding abilities on each language and what I need it for)

I just always saw Brandon using Proffesional and must other people on YouTube and was wondering what was so great about it.

Well, I'm not really sure if there is much of a difference between visual studio professional, ultimate, and express. I use Visual Studio 2010 because that's what I have. There are a lot of flaws with it (I am considering upgrading to 2012 soon enough), but I am happy.

Anyway, in Visual Studio, you are locked to one language per project (I believe). You have to start a project in a specific language and keep all of its associated forms in that language. This is to prevent compile errors, I believe.

I am a student, but my school email is not a .edu it's a .org (I think). But I've checked that out before. I'm thinking about getting Ubuntu for Christmas, so I decided before I move over to it to at least try the thirty day trials of the expensive ones. But thanks for the info <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->
