VS 2005 (.NET 2.0) cost depends on the level

Professional isn't too bad (<$500/seat upgrade), and I guess Enterprise Developer (VS2005 ED) might not be too bad if you're already paying for MSDN Premium, otherwise it's way more expensive than before - at about $2300/seat upgrade - since you have to get it with MSDN Premium.

VS2005 Enterprise Kitchen Sink is about $10,000/seat, not including the various server thingies (TeamServer?)

We have VS2001 Enterprise Developer, looked at the price to upgrade to VS2005 ED, laughed, and upgraded to VS2005 Professional. I saw no value in VS2005 ED, since all the interesting extras have open source equivalents that are probably better (e.g. Subversion for version control, NUnit for unit testing).

The big advantage of .NET 2.0 is, of course, being able to run IronPython.

Datagrids suck/don't suck in .NET - (lincoln) - (17) - March 24, 2006, 11:14:31 AM EST

They do suck, but try this - (altmann) - (16) - March 24, 2006, 07:45:52 PM EST

So this is easier than writing your own HTML? -NT - (drewk) - (1) - March 24, 2006, 09:23:45 PM EST

To create a editable grid in a Windows program? Yes. -NT - (altmann) - March 24, 2006, 09:33:52 PM EST

That worked, but I prefer to do things in code - (lincoln) - (13) - March 28, 2006, 09:00:04 AM EST

Like I said, this (datagrids) is easier than writing code? -NT - (drewk) - (6) - March 28, 2006, 09:42:02 AM EST

Oh, come the heck on! Six or eight drop-down selections! - (CRConrad) - (5) - March 28, 2006, 04:29:22 PM EST

My experience with it - (drewk) - (3) - March 28, 2006, 04:40:58 PM EST

Again, we're talking about client side Windows apps here. -NT - (altmann) - (2) - March 28, 2006, 05:07:02 PM EST

Come on, let me slam Winders, please? - (drewk) - (1) - March 28, 2006, 05:41:44 PM EST

Like shooting fish in a barrel - (ChrisR) - March 28, 2006, 07:24:57 PM EST

BTW, I just checked: In Delphi, it's zero properties to set. - (CRConrad) - March 29, 2006, 08:04:25 AM EST

So do that. - (altmann) - (5) - March 28, 2006, 05:05:00 PM EST

You're overlooking - (lincoln) - (4) - March 29, 2006, 11:53:52 AM EST

You've got your mappings wrong - (altmann) - (3) - March 30, 2006, 01:29:35 AM EST

On to the future! - (lincoln) - (2) - March 30, 2006, 01:41:52 PM EST

Might take a look at this too - (altmann) - March 30, 2006, 05:45:29 PM EST

There is such a thing as dinner plates and what goes on them is mightily disappointing.
