    Difference between Visual Studio .net Standard and Professional

    What is the difference between Visual Studio .net Standard and Visual Studio .net Professional? I saw Standard for about $100, and Professional for about $1,000. What could possibly make it that expensive?

    As this has nothing to do with C++ coding, I think we'll move the thread to the Tech Forum....
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    professional has more optimization options. I have seen a path planning app compiled in both, the timing for standard was 34ms, the professional was around 20ms. I'm sure that's not the only difference.

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
