That is congruent with my SharePoint experiences in the past with the 2008 flavors. Good that you're able to make it pay as a job now!

Good point. I wasn't condoning spending that much cash merely as a way to learn, without there being any hope of recouping the cost. It's only now that developing with SharePoint is turning in to paid job for me that I could warrant the expense.

Can it be done in the Express versions of VS? Hmm, dunno. The impression I get from a quick Google is that elements of it can be done, but not half as easily as with the Pro version.

Nice work again, Jake. I think most people not having their own business tax id to write off expenses against (US anyway) would find the $500 USD to be a bit steep for a learning experience. Do you know if the free version is capable of getting the job done or was there a reason you had to use the pro version to accomplish the task?
