Question : Is It worth upgrading from my VB Express Edition

Hi Guys

I need your help.

I am just getting acquainted with my VB Express 2008 programming environment. And it is taking a lot of work for me to upgrade my programs from the old VB6 to VB.Net using my VB Express Edition 2008.

I think that VB Express 2008 **will** do all that I want it to do - but I am wondering if I should upgrade to a paid version in order to access more features that will help me to program more easily.

And my question is this.

Do you think that it is worth upgrading?

And which product, exactly, should I upgrade to?

Thank you

Karl

Answer : Is It worth upgrading from my VB Express Edition

Hi KarlTheHopeless;

Do you think that it is worth upgrading?
    Only you can know that for sure. What I mean by that is that each product version has different options if you need the missing options then yes upgrade if no don't upgrade.

And which product, exactly, should I upgrade to?
    The following link is Microsoft's product guide. Select the product that contains all the options you need.

The Comparison Guide is a downloadable document in three format at the bottom of the page.

The newest version of Visual Studio is now 2010 so if you are going to invest I would get 2010.
