I don't think that the EULA permits redistribution - you'll probably have to buy it.

In any case, I would choose the 2005 version over the 2003 version. Both solutions do require that you port your code to the .NET framework, however.

Just use Visual Basic Express edition. Its free and you can write commercial software with it... I dont know how much funtionality there is compared to the full version though.

Man I love msdn subscriptions ....

Anyway, you should use C or C++. VB gives you cancer!

thats the problem. It is limited to what you can do. I need to develop for pda which express doesn't support. There alot of new activeX controls in 2003 that version 6 doesn't have

Well, then I'm afraid you're going to have to save up.

There is no such thing as a free lunch. If you're going to develop stuff for cash, you need to understand that you're going to have to pay for the development tools.

Otherwise, use freeware tools.
