Ralph, Speaking of a "bucket-of worms" this looks more like a 55-gal drum of maggots. . .I'll wait! http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/ Ed

With the new approach of Microsoft, the total package and each component is now called NET. Hence, the package is Visual Studio NET, and components are Visual Basic NET. Also, in light with this new approach, Microsoft has developed a "new" language for this development - Visual C#. So if you see any references to C#, with regard to computer development, this is what is being refered to.

I see it now at the windows update site. Is this something we can all use, or should we install it on our PC's? I tried to read about it, but there was no quick and easy explanation/description for it. Looks like from what I did gather from it, it is only for PC's with a certain type of software on it. ? -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kaulback" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "pcworks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 10:39 AM Subject: PCWorks: MS releases new runtime Microsoft has a new runtime environment released to support it's .NET architecture: http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/sample.asp?url=/msdn-file s/027/001/829/msdncompositedoc.xml&frame=true Typical MS, the code is bloating exponentially with this package coming in at 19.7 mb.
