Well, VB.Net is free. You have the compiler and all the tools necessary to
create any type of .Net application. All you need to download is the .Net
Framework and all of the tools required to create the applications comes as
part of the framework. You just don't have any fancy GUI/IDE to work with.

If you are talking about a free IDE, then the post regarding the Express
versions of Visual Studio are FREE. I noticed you mentioned in a reply that
you have to "install" them so they won't work for you. Well, sorry, but
you're gonna have to install something to be able to program. Unless you
are going to be developing in JavaScript or VBScript (the parsers come with
various Microsoft products, and are probably already "installed" on your
Windows based machine now).

Even Mono, currently the portable version of the .Net Framework that is NOT
written or maintained by Microsoft, requires installation. So you can't
even get around installing that.

Unless I'm mistaken on what you mean by "install"...

Minus portable apps, most software has to be installed first.- Tekst uit oorspronkelijk bericht niet weergeven -

Thats why I ask portable!
But thanks to all. It seem i will have no luck. yet

For now I will stay with vba, vbscript en javascipt..

I simply asked this becourse my boss knows that I can program a
little. So he ask from time to time to do some things. But de local
IT's refuce to install visual studio.
At home I work with 2008, (thats why I asked .net compatible and
portable).

Have these "local IT's" also prevented the various .Net Frameworks from
being installed?

If you've got them, then you've /got/ the Visual Basic and C# compilers
already! Look for vbc.exe and csc.exe (under
%WinDir%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\/version/).
OK, they're not as /easy/ to work with as they are from within 'Studio
(the command lines that 'Studio produces are just /massive/), but they
/are/ there.

Also, with the Framework in place, you can just copy [simple]
executables onto the machine and it will "just work".

I guess you are the "local IT's" worst nightmare to tell him this Phill
as the TS can now discover that it is even possible to write his code in
notepad ,
send it to the compiler and run his assemblies on all the companies
computers with xcopy deployment
