    If your talking VB Pro - I'm not sure about Part Numbers

    Shows the features and you can make sure that you purchase the edition with the features you want.

    There is no 'upgrade' path from VB Express to VS Professional.

    Unless you have a previous version (e.g. VB6, Visual Studio6/2002/2003) you will need to buy the Full Version of Visual Sudio 2005 Professional.

    Hi -

    It's slightly confusing but there is no product called VB 2005 Professional like there was with VB6 Professional. Instead, there is a Visual Studio 2005 Professional edition, and that contains Visual Basic features at the Pro level.

    The official product names are listed here:

    Let us know if that doesn't clear up what to buy.

    Best,

    I found the part number: C5E-00001

    The cheapest I've seen around $600.
