First, Introduction

In order to avoid the online mess of outdated introduction, to avoid misleading beginners, this time to the end of June 2016, the C # development environment of the various versions of the update and installation process to reorganize the contribution.

which

VS2015 Enterprise (including Update3) is the most fully functional and unrestricted commercial version.

Description: Microsoft's VS2015 Community (including Update3) is a fully functional free edition, and its role is the same as that of IBM's free Eclipse. If you can tolerate performance limitations, if you want to play with no one to take responsibility for the various open source architectures, if you want to use a variety of open source programs directly, if you want to use 0% of the investment to earn 100% of the profit (oh, there are such a lot of people at home), ..., all of these, for C # developers, VS2015 community is preferred; for Java developers, Eclipse is preferred. Why? The reason is simple, Microsoft and IBM certainly will not go to your trouble, as long as your users can endure you make a hodgepodge of the line.

However, if you want to make the development of the system stable and reliable, or a fee for the enterprise version of it (learning can be cracked). This blog is about this version (VS2015 Simplified Chinese Enterprise Edition).
