Sorry for the post. I didn't realize VS .NET had such a download. I thought you were referring to the DVD trial addition which has a limited number of days.

>>>>Hi to all experts,
>>>>Please help this newbie. I want to learn VB .NET but I dont have the latest version with me. I have all the books to learn VB .NET. As I know VB 6.0 quite good. But this new version looks totally different. I am finding it very difficult to learn VB .NET without any software. Can anyone suggest me how can I get the software? Or can I use VB 6.0 itself?
