don't laugh me for this question.........

[redshirtme]

Hi all,
I was asked by my supervisor to decide which development tool should I choose for a software application. I decided to go with visual studio.net. Then they ordered it, it turns out to be almost 10 cds in a package.

I expected only one cd to install the visual studio.net, in my package, there is lots of other that I don't know what/how to use them, such as exchage server service pack 3, windows 2000 advance server service pack, commerce server development tools...

I wonder if these are just bonus software or required/needed for visual studio.net

I programmed vb for years, but really the first time get in touch with .net. i asked this question here because I work with non-technical person so I guess no one here in my office knows this question better than myself

Sounds like they got a MSDN subscription as well....

You only need to install Visual Studio... its installs the framework for you if its not installed.

Great googly moogly....

Someone needs to PM him about posting rules.. not me though, I too laid-back at the moment..

[LITHIA]

lol actually... come to think of it, where exactly are the rules?

i'm kinda ashamed, i can't find them and don't remember if i ever read them or not now...

[nemaroller]

I don't know where they are either... but legend has it they exist.

I imagine it could be in the Acceptable Use Policy way at the bottom of the page, but that sounds like a lot of legal mumbo jumbo..

[LITHIA]

wow, its got somet to do with a planet too! Jupiter, hehe

[nemaroller]

Ah... that's where they are kinda...

"You will not post messages that are clearly outside of the stated topic of any Forums nor disrupt a forum by deliberately posting repeated irrelevant messages or copies of identical messages (also known as "flooding")."

[LITHIA]

lol it was probably just an accidental double click of the submit button.

anyway... i was more concerned about the link i put. but i suppose there isn't a rule you have to post in other people's threads too

[nemaroller]

Well, I wasn't be a superdupe about it either... I mean we're breaking the rules just by continuing off-topic...

Surely a four-eyed frog trumps a three-eyed frog?
