IBM DB2 Development Add-In for Visual Basic Express

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to use the IBM Db2 Development Add-In within Visual Basic Express or can it only be used within Visual Studio .Net.
I have installed both the DB2 v8.2.2 and Visual Basic Express but cannot seem to register the Add-in within Express...

I don't understand you because Visual Basic Express is just a free edition of Visual Studio.NET.
Contact IBM support team to know the supported editions of Visual Studio.
HTH.

Visual Basic Express does not support any Add-ins or third party packages. VB Express also does not support working with remote databases (client server). So I don't think you'll get any design-time support for DB2 to work.

Visual Studio Standard and above will add this capability - it's available for a modest price.

thanks,

Paul

Thanks Paul,

Ive been using VB Express for about 2 months and find it excellent ! I cant believe however that I have already hit its restrictions !

Oh well - as you suggest - only one thing for it. Update to Visual Studio Standard ;-)

Hi-

Glad to hear you like Express! I think you'll enjoy the upgrade if and when you try it.

Best,

Paul

This is a restriction on the Microsoft Visual Basic Express and not a problem with the IBM DB2 Add-ins for Visual Studio.
