My 90 day free tiral is ending, so I plan to install Visual Studio Express 2008. I do not think I ned any feasture of Pro anyway. And the Express version is free. But what about this VS 2010 Express Beta 2?<br />
<br />

<br />
Are there any advantages to jumping to this version instead? What about that it's still in Beta? I program in C#, both WinForms and Web Services.<br />
<br />
Wondering...<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Need a FREE replacement for Visual Studio Pro 2008

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.
