Talk:Microsoft Visual Studio Express

message: It seems like there are now some type of C++ redistributables, which are discussed as being a limitation in the C++ section.  Link here: []
There are redistributables for the New C runtimes, and end users don't need to have VS 
Express installed to run the binaries compiled with this program. Every program compiled 
with VS (any version) needs the proper C runtimes to exceute (just like you need 
VBRunXXX.dll for basic programs), you don't notice this unless you don't have the required
version of the runtime dlls. Windows XP doesn't ship with the newer versions, so you get
this error. It's up to the author of the software to include them. I'm going to remove the 
whole section later on. -VampyreDark 20:35, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: C++ Redistributables

message: The article describes what the restrictions are for Visual Express SQL but not for the other languages; it would be interesting (and consistent) to give a list of restrictions for each of the Visual Express packages.

thread_title:  What's missing from Express over paid for versions 

message: OK, so these went RTM today. I've made some basic updates, but missing parts are still an updated Express IDE screenshot, and new Visual Basic 2008 Express features compared to VB 2005 Express, among other things. — Northgrove 19:56, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Vsplusplus 2005 beta2.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Vsplusplus 2005 beta2.png

message: VS2008 Express Web Developer SP1 supports both class library and Web Application projects, which were not supported in VS2005 Express.[4] It also includes a new integrated HTML designer based on Microsoft Expression Web. However, the functionality to publish the website you develop is not present in this edition.
:Yes it does have some silly limitations. See here for a convenient solution to your issue. Maybe it should be added to the article? - xpclient Talk 05:55, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  What am I missing? 

message: As you can see at the 2005 site, it now redirects to 2008 express downloads. "Previous version" link have disappeared. Other pages in MSDN, redirect to 2008 information too.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.253.151.76 (talk) 21:47, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah it seems they (randomly?) discontinued it entirely. I just spent an hour crawling the web trying to figure out if I could still get it. Perhaps it should be noted somewhere in the article that it's no longer available.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.112.186.63 (talk) 02:31, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

text: Actually, i believe it can still be accessed at msdn.microsoft.com/express, even if the download page (aa975050.aspx) is missing most of the images (making the choice a bit difficult). -- 188.25.131.33 (talk) 06:14, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hm, something's a bit weird with the first link. On a different PC using Fx i get redirected to the 2008 site, but on this one (dumbed-down IE with prompts for JS and other restrictions) i don't. I've added the second link for direct access. -- 188.25.131.33 (talk) 06:27, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is Microsoft killing the 2005 edition? 

message: The information contained in this section is far from valid, I'm using Visual C# Express and find none of the crippleware or missing features mentioned in the article.  But I guess the sources are a bit dated. See: http://www.microsoft.com/express/Windows/ for more information.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: A final, limited, version of the Express product has been quietly released for 2017. It can be seen at the Visual Studio download page. According to that page:
"Visual Studio Express 2017 is available for Windows Desktop developers. This will be the final version of Visual Studio Express, and there will not be a UWP or Web offering of Visual Studio Express 2017. We encourage all users to look at the free development options offered by Microsoft such as Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio Community for future development needs."
I have been unable to find any information on when this was released in order to update the info box. Can anyone else find any blog posts or other announcements that might shed some light on this? Dorm41baggins (talk) 14:55, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
