[Nak]

Hi there,

Is there anychance someone could tell me the link to the Microsoft web
site where I can buy VB.NET 2003 upgrade from VB.NET 2002 in the UK. I
heard it was around $25 or something but can't remember the URL since my PC
was reinstalled. Thanks in advance.

Nick.

AFAIK you can not update VB .NET Standard.

Herfried,

Are you sure? I had previously been given a link that contained
information with the relevant UK price also. Are you totally sure of that?

I don't know anything about this offer in the UK but maybe it's possible to
upgrade a Standard edition... I feel sorry but I do not have this
information.

I just recently bought the 2002 version of VB.Net
Standard (just my luck MS comes out with a new version a
couple weeks later). Anyway, I really hope that there is
an upgrade available.

Hi James,

This is a very similar page, except it was definitly for the UK. Maybe
this is one of those small details that Microsoft don't want people to know,
like running ISS on XP Home Edition? I would rather upgrade, it would save
me a few pounds.

Hi Gary,

Tis okay, I was disgusted by that already, do I offend being British? I
want a cheap upgrade, it's not fair :-(

Somebody mentioned a cheap offer which is available in the UK, but I do
not have any information on that.

It was probably a vicious rumour for people like myself :-(

You can get any version of 2003 Visual Studio .NET for $30. Only catch is
that you need to have the 2002 version installed when you go to install the
2003 version.

You don't necessarily have to have it installed. All you need is the first
the first installation disk of 2002. When you install 2003, it will ask you
to insert this disk. Once it verifies that you have this disk, it continues
with the installation.

I don't have VS, I have VB, I am an unprofessional and don't deserve
special offers!

I've seen it on the MS UK site myself. I belive it was Ł29 incl VAT.

VB.NET 2002 Standard to VB.NET 2003 Standard?

Typical, Ł29, it's $29, should be Ł18.27 at the current exchange rate, so
Ł29 would actually make it $46.03!!!! I suppose that's what they like to
call business?

Are you sure this was an offer for VB .NET Standard users?!

OK, but the CD's price is $100,000,000. I think VS .NET Professional is
cheaper.

Did you not make a mistake you wrote dollars not euros?
And you forgot an extra percentage for currencies wherefore it is in future
not ease to do the transition and are less portabel and maybe even
