Are Visual Studio.Net 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 one and the same?

I have installed "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005- 8.0.50727.42(rtm.050727-4200)" and this is what I see when I open the Help menu.In the installed produts,it shows"Microsoft Visual Basic,Microsoft Visual C#,...but at my friends place I see "Microsoft Visual Basic .NET,Microsoft Visual C# .NET,....."Why is it that he has got .net tags at the end as shown above but i don't and yes he is using VS 2003.


I am also not able to create or start a ASP.NET,why is this so.Am I using the Enterprise edition


So what exactly am i using is it VS 2005.net or VS 2005,are both VS 2005 .NET and VS 2005 one and the same.

Are Visual Studio.Net 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 one and the same?
Here's the deal. The official name of the last version was "Visual Studio .NET 2003". The official name of the new version is "Visual Studio 2005" (dropping the .NET).





When people mention "C#" or "C#.NET" they're talking about the same exact thing. When people talk about "VB" and "VB.NET" they might not be talking about the same thing, since Visual Basic pre-dates .NET (specifically, VB 6 was very popular for quite a while).
