I've been tasked with finding out which version of Visual Studio we need for our development team. &nbsp;Right now the team consists of myself and is slated to include two, and at the most three, more developers. &nbsp;All we really need is Visual Studio 2005 but I'm wondering if it's not such a bad idea to just get 2008 now. &nbsp;I've never had to make a call like this so I'm kind of stumped, just need some general advice.<br />

Which version do I need?

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
