    Just felt like mentioning that one of the cooler express editions is SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, IMO. It is better than MSDE SQL becuase it works with XML files and it has a GUI.

    I doubt it still, but I am wondering if it is included in all of the other express editions, because of how it integrates,... or if there is a quick install of SQL express (~50MB) when you have an installation of another express like VB express.

    Yeah, but the BIG difference is one is a BETA while the other is not.

    file: Ixpvcs.exe
    size: 29.2 MB (30,696,400 bytes)

    I downloaded C# Express beta and felt like sharing the URL

    Hong Gao 's Web Log Tuesday, April 19, 2005

    I installed it on a windows 2000 box that had Visual Web Developer installed from CD. During installation, I ignored the missing setup files and it seemed OK.

    Doing tremendous reading with the .Net Framework. When I learn it it will be my favourite libary out of C, C++, and C#




    Downloading Info

    Ixpvcs.exe is VC# Express
    Ixpvb.exe is VB Express
    Ixpvwd.exe is Visual Web Developer

    Express editions (above) needs .Net Framework 2.0 to be prior installed:
    dotnetfx.exe
    22.4 MB (23,540,688 bytes)

    The documentation can be installed on any of the Express Editions:
    msdnixp.exe
    236 MB (247,960,016 bytes)

    The Express CD download (link) has some of these files:
    One Express Language Edition
    Framework
    Documentation
    SQL Express Edition

    Just checked out VC#. Its pretty cool. VB should be the same too.

    Right of the bat you can start developing applications, without using the documentation. The intellisence and project templates does plenty.

    I did not install the .Net Framework documentation, and found that the Express Edition already had a C# language reference and a short article on "How to: Create a C# Windows Application". Can't wait to install the full documentation and download the WalkTru's

    Default Needed file

    Windows Installer 3.0 This must be installed first.

    Today I installed C# express on a fresh installation on Windows 2000 with SP4. It was done in this order:

    WindowsInstaller-KB884016-v2-x86.exe
    dotnetfx.exe
    Ixpvcs.exe (must clicked ignore)
    msdnixp.exe

    I worked with a program and the FolderBrowserDialog class, and I think I found a minor bug. Still, I really liked how much VS2005 has improved over my VS2002. If you use VS, then I would suggest that you try VS 2005 Express when it is released, and if it is free.
