Wanting to buy Visual.net...

**ching_ching** · 22nd February 2005, 09:39

Hi gang,

To all IT folk. Any of you know any contacts who are willing to part with their Visual.Net 2003? Have got a book about using Visual Basic and I know pretty much any version would suffice for learning pursposes but would prefer (if possible) being able to use Visual.Net 2003. Preferably going cheap. Might be willing to part with a pair of brand new Spool leather pants (size 60 I think, complete with knee sliders) which I've never and will probably never use. I've already looked on TradeMe (couple of copies of Visual Basic going there) but just sussing out some other options.

Thanks,

Ching

Hate to be a damp squib, but I thought resale of software is in breach of the Licence Agreement?

I've never bothered to read the Visual Studio EULA.

I could go and read it now, but I can't be bothered.

If it *does* prohibit on-sale, Ching might as well just use a pirated copy, unless licences are available for the same software suite at a 'student' discount, which I would imagine should be applicable in his case.

Thanks MDU. Unfortunately I'm not a student. (Not that there's anything wrong with being a student... (no offence to students out there)). :spudwhat:

No worries - just seeing what actually is out there for you.

Do you want the whole suite or just VB?
