What is the difference between Visual Basic 6.0 Professional and Visual Basic 6.0 Enterprise? With the 700$ price difference I need to know.

The Enterprise Edition includes BackOffice Server 4.5 Developer Edition and other bonus materials, so that's why it costs much more.

Moo2 · 11-07-2004, 11:39 PM

What do those extras do, and are they worth the dramatic price increase?

Lorand · 11-07-2004, 11:53 PM

Take a look here for details: http://www.noccc.org/bytes/revubook/v01/236.html
But there couldn't be such a huge price difference, since you can buy the Enterprise edition for 200$ (http://shopping.yahoo.com/p:Microsof...are:1990344864)

Odd...Froogle listed that as $937....anyway, which would you recommend?

You would need the Enterprise edition only if you want to build applications for large companies, where several users can access the same resources in the same time over the lan or over the internet.

i have visual basic, never used it tough. how much is visual basic worth ?

Despite the fact that there are major language differences, the resulting software is almost the same regardless in what developing tool it was created.
I use Delphi because learned Pascal in the past and it's easier to me to use it.
But Basic is also enough to produce good software...

RIGHT FROM MICROSOFTS VB website:

the enterprise edition has these things ontop of everything the pro edition has:

"Enterprise Visual Database Tools
View database tables and views, and modify data in any ODBC- or OLE DB-compliant database, and rapidly create SQL queries within the development environment. Visually design and modify database schemas and objects, including stored procedures, for SQL Server 6.5+ and Oracle 7.3.3+ databases.

Data Object wizard
Simplify the creation of COM-based data-access components and reduce your development time by automatically generating the necessary code to handle the interaction with stored procedures, data binding, and data display.

Native Alpha support
Build high-performance, scalable applications and components that run natively on DEC Alpha.

Transact SQL (TSQL) debugger
Interactively debug SQL Server 6.5+ stored procedures and triggers at the same time, and on the same workstation.

SQL Server 6.5 Developer Edition
Develop and test enterprise database applications with a scalable, high-performance database management system for systems based on Windows NT®.

Visual SourceSafe® 6.0
Use the Visual SourceSafe version control system to collaborate, share, and secure source code with your team for Windows-based and Web development"

..and Microsoft Visual Studio has all of VB plus C# J# C++ and a ton of other features....
