I have been using Visual1.1 C# .NET for a few years but due to buying
code from rentacoder.com I have to now upgrade to run imported code
(which I have purchased).

I would appreciate any views held by developers in this NG of the
worth of Visual Studio 2008 Professional and the same software but the
Standard version.

Also, does anyone have any concept of the worth of 3.0 over 3.5 and if
3.5 will have incompatibilities with 3.0, ie would code written under
3.0 fail in 3.5?

I only use C# and not VB.

yep, it fails. u need .net 3.5 to compile and run .net 3.5 projects

..NET is compatible from the top to the bottom

Looks to me like Server Explorer is the only real difference and maybe
Mobile later.
