Installing Development Tools (IDEs)
Building applications can be done with a number of friendly Integrated Development Environment
(IDE) tools. Choose the tools based on the application language you plan to use and install them on
your development workstation.
VB.NET/C# Applications: Using Visual Studio 2005
Microsoft® Visual Studio 2005 is a complete set of development tools for building ASP.NET Web
applications, XML Web services, desktop applications, and mobile applications. Visual Basic,
Visual C++, Visual C#, and Visual J# all use the same IDE, which allows them to share tools and
facilitates the creation of mixed-language solutions.
Microsoft also offers Visual Studio 2005 Express for student developers. It is free and can be
downloaded from MSDN's
web site.
Note: When you have installed the tools on your workstation computer, you can start developing
your applications. There is no need to install any other SDK.
