The five cds arnt all VB.Net, thats just one CD.

One is the Pre-requisites, which I believe has the .Net SDK. One is VB.Net and three are MSDN disks with mad loot information.

I think when you have VB.Net/VS.Net installed, you already have the SDK1.1 (if you have 2003).

Maybe it already detected it on your computer and just threw down documentation.

I havnt downloaded it, I just installed VB.Net (then later VS.Net) from the CDs and then downloaded the Component One Resource Pack.

Hes talking about the SDK not Visual Studio.

Anand, you can get more info here http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/

If i understand you properly, i think you will need to get an IDE like Visual Basic .NET or Borland C# Builder, etc...

Yes
I want the .NET IDE to develop my vb.net and asp.net applications..pls let me know how to get that IDE...

Thanks

There is no free IDE from Microsoft, only the Framework is provided for free. With the framework you get the compiler - command line only. If you install nothing else, youd have to use Notepad (or something similar) to write your code and compile it on the command line.

Visual Studio is Microsofts IDE. The IDE is basically a text editor/compiler (a LOT more actually) that works with the framework. But you dont need Visual Studio to write, compile, or run .NET applications.

If you want a free "IDE" that works with .NET, there are a couple that Im aware of. There are separate ones for WinForms and WebForms. The one for WinForms that Ive heard of is called SharpDevelop[/ur] and is for C# or VB.NET. Im sure there are others, but Ive heard decent things about that one.

anand,
I cant help you with the command line options - never done it that way myself (lucky enough to use Visual Studio). Youll have to do SOME investigation on your own - try reading the help that came with the framework or search Google. I think there have even been a few threads on this forum that talked about options though a Google for a tutorial/sample might be best.

Or, try out the SharpDevelop IDE. If youre new to programming, Id strongly suggest some kind of IDE so that you can "play" around without having to worry too much about all the details of setting up the compiler.
