YAY. For those that don’t have an MSDN subscription or the money to shell out for the full version of visual studio, this is for you. Also, if you have been interested in giving .net a shot, now is the time! These editions are free to download for a year.
You can download Visual Studio Express from the links below:
- Visual Web Developer 2005 Express
- Visual Basic 2005 Express
- Visual C# 2005 Express
- Visual C++ 2005 Express
- Visual J# 2005 Express
- SQL Server Express
Visual Studio Express is free for one year
Until November 7, 2006, Microsoft is promotionally discounting the downloadable versions of Express to free. This doesn’t mean that the product turns off after a year, but rather that as long as you download the product before November 7, 2006, you can get it for free and you can use it forever.
