 vb.net development environment
Visual Basic 6, Visual Studio 2010, MySQL
I am coming out of retirement and have a couple of projects I was going to do in VB6. After doing a little research it became clear that I needed to migrate my development environment from VB6/sp6 to VB.Net. My question is very basic,, what do I need to start VB.Net development? I do not have any VB6 programs to migrate so I am starting with a clean slate. My projects  will be graphic and database (MySQL and Acess) intensive with web design to follow.
I have a limited budget so any free SW would be helpfull


Software/Hardware used:
XP and Win 7

Answer Wiki:
You can install and use the express version of Visual Studio, which can be found there:
Visual Studio 2010 Express Products

You can also use the express edition of SQL Server, which can be found in the above link as well.

MySQL can also be downloaded and used for free. Here's a link:
Download MySQL Community Server

There is no free version of Access, so you would need an Office license.
