Hi,
I'm not sure there was a Visual Studio 2000, there was Visual Studio
..NET that was released in 2002 if that's what you meant? The main
difference between these versions is the .NET Framework version that's
supported. Each subsequent version has new and improved development
features, and a slicker user interface. Here's a summary breakdown of
the versions:
Visual Studio .NET
First version of Visual Studio for .NET 1.0
Visual Studio .NET 2003
..NET Framework upgraded to v1.1. Supported development for mobile
devices. Several Visual C++ improvements.
Visual Studio 2005
..NET Framework upgraded to version 2.0. New language features added,
such as generics. C++/CLI added. Visual FoxPro removed. New
"Deployment Designer" added. Support for 64-bit architectures.
Several editions including Team System (for large development
organizations) and Express. Added tools for building MS Office
extensions.
HTH,
Chris
