VS2002 -> VS2003, differences?

[McBain2]

Can anyone tell me in a nutshell what is the main difference between VS2002 and VS2003.

I have VS2002, considering upgrading - but the cost seems an awful lot and of all the VS2003 examples I've seen - they all have worked in VS2002 as well!

What am I missing?!?

If you missed the $29 upgrade deal then I'd wait from the next version of VS alter this year. 2003's IDE is a bit faster and there are some good (but minor) changes.

I know that MS had a doc on their site that spelled out the differences, but sorry - don't have the link - you should be able to search msdn and find it with a little luck

Simply ,

[IDE]
VS.NET 2002 is 80% buggy .
VS.NET 2003 is 30% buggy .

[Framework]
VS.NET 2002 : uses 1.0 version .
VS.NET 2003 : uses 1.1 version .

[Code]
VS.NET 2003 : You can declare a variable in a for loop like this :

For i as Interger =0 to 10 
 
 
Next for

and a lot more but this is what I can recall now .

As Ed said , if you can get the low-priced upgrade , it's good if not then I'd suggest to wait till the release of the next version .
