Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express — Full Version
Overview
Weaknesses & Limitations (Why "Express" ≠ "Professional")
- No Database Explorer: While you could code against SQL Server, you lacked the visual Server Explorer/data source wizards found in Professional.
- Single-Language: You could not add C# or C++ projects to a VB solution (the Express SKUs were language-specific).
- No Remote Debugging: Debugging was local only. You could not attach to a process on another machine.
- Limited Extensibility: You could not install Visual Studio extensions (
.vsix) or add-in managers. - No 64-Bit Compiler: The default compiler produced 32-bit (x86) assemblies, though they ran on x64 via WOW64.
