Registration Benefits - IconBuffet

I have been working with VW Dev Express and have accessed some of the benefits from the Registration Benefit Portal. I would like to be able to get the IconBuffet item, however, it does not appear to be one of the benefits of VWD. Does anyone know which Express software includes IconBuffet as a registration benefit?

Icons are available as a benefit to registered users of Visual Basic Express, Visual C# Express, Visual C++ Express, and Visual J# Express.

C#, C++.net, or VB.net express editions all have IconBuffet as registration benefits.

I understand who gets what but the actual Benefits Portal does not have the IconBuffet. Does anyone know where to find the IconBuffet? Even though this is advertised as a benefit has anyone ever seen this benefit?

Thanks

You have to register one of the Express Tools that have that benefit for it to show up in your benefits portal.

I have downloaded it already.

Ahh, I could have been more clear. I have registered VB 2005 Express Edition. The only reason I know about the Benefits Portal is due to the Startup page in VB2005EE. It had an article that stated that once registered I would get access to 2 benefits. One was supposed to be the Icon Buffet. But when I went into the portal, MS only had one benefit available and it wasn't the IconBuffet.

This is really not a big deal, just wondering if it was ever available and you answered that question (thanks). I'm hoping someone from MS is listening and actually puts the Icon Buffet back because that was the only 1 of the 2 advertised benefits that I was actually wanted to check-out. This is really not a big deal. I entered this thread because it was toward the top when I entered this forum for the first time.

Thanks again.

Was there a free book for C++?

No, only a book about C# and VC# 2005 express.

I've downloaded and registered Visual C# Express, but the icons are not appearing on the dowloads page. Where can I get them?
