I have visual studio .net 2003 standard edition. would I be able to run my programs off of a windows based server? Sorry I am very unfamiliar with the Windows Hosting environment and just started programming with some VB.NET. I have an app that does the scoring system for a fantasy football league I am in. It uses an Access database for its database though. So my questions is would I be able to run this if i get a windows hosting account? Also my other programs that do not use a database would I be able to run these as well?
Thanks,
Derrick

If your host has the .NET framework installed and ASP.NET enabled then you can run ASP.NET apps (which can be written using VB.NET), yes.
ASP.NET apps can use Access databases.

And if it's coded in a certain way, you can run your .NET programs off Linux w/ mySQL.

I made an error in my initial post. I have VB.NET standard edition, not the complete visual studio. So i imagine i need the complete Visual Studio to do the above?
Thanks,

You don't need Visual Studio. You can even use Notepad but it's going to take you a longer time to code, test and debug.
I am not aware of VB.NET. Microsoft's IDE is all Visual Studio.NET that comes in different editions.

Heh, Microsoft gave away their scripting languages (VB, VC, C#, etc) w/ the .NET framework.
The scripting IDE (Visual Studio), is the most expensive there is out on the market, and usually for good reason. Like sbloyd said above, you can use notepad if you wish, or Web Matrix, or DreamweaverMX...

VB.NET is sufficient to create ASP.NET Web Applications and Services. Visual Studio .NET is the name of the bundle that includes VC#.NET, VB.NET, VC++.NET and VJ#.NET. The IDE is the same, the main differences come in what modules are plugged into it. As long as you are only using VB, you are fine with what you have.
