  hi,

  sdk = Software developer's kit

  http://www.answers.com/SDK

  i'm beginner and i don't know what does it mean exactly but when i visited C++ forum i found them use it alot , when i read about C# i found they talk about 2 types of coding managed and unmanaged , i know this sdk is full of the source code of all the framework if you want to add your own classes or develop your own classes there it will be considered as unmanaged code(not regular code) for frameworks run time you provide your own ways in controlling things out of normal frameworks classes

  but again i'm not sure its my personal guessing

  hope this helps

  SDK means Software Development Kit
  When you use a framework you can only see the result, with an SDK you can also see more of how it works and use that to build upon it.
  Take for example DirectX, you all have DirectX 9 on your computer and the games use it.
  But when you want to develop your own game you will need to download the DirectX SDK so that you can use the methods available in DirectX.

  hi,

  mmmm you can think of framework as 2 sides, producer and consumer, the producer of classes is sdk and hte consumer or the program that use it is the framework that you have

  as long as you use the predefined classes you just use framework, if you want to develope some classes to fit your own desire you need the framework sdk,

  i don't know about other editions but express edition doesn't have the sdk and its available on microsoft download center you can download it

  hope this helps

  An SDK is a set of tools that users can utilize to create applications. The Windows SDK contains documentation, tools, samples, headers and libraries that target development on Windows, and specifically Windows Vista. (we also carry documentation on Windows XP and 2003 APIs, but our primary focus is on Vista.

  Basically, for any developers, we are intended as the main set of reference content. If you want to use a specific Windows API, the SDK provides a reference for its specific implementation, and will often contain sample code that reference that API.

  Hope this helps.
