I am installing visual studio 2013 professional edition on my development box and have question on what features need to install ..
I am going to develop a MVC or Web Forms Web Application which communicates to SQL Server 2005
I want to install only features that are required for development, please let me know if my understanding is correct
Blend for Visual Studio --- NOT REQUIRED as I am not going to use HTML5 or XAML or WPF or Silverlight
LightSwitch -- NOT REQUIRED as I am developing only Web Application, nothing related to Desktop /Cloud
Microsoft Foundation Classes for C++ -- I am going to use C# 4.0, do I need this ?
Microsoft Office Developer Tools -- Not Required , I am not going to develop anything related to sharepoint OR MS Office, BUT I NEED TO CREATE CSV TEXT FILES, READING CSV Files -- I Don't need this right ??
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Not Required -- it installs SQL Server 2012 components, but my applications talks to SQL Server 2005 -- I might use Entity Framework , do I need this ?
Microsoft Web Developer Tools -- Required
Silver light Development Kit -- Not Required Application does not have any Silver light development/features --

In the Visual Studio Installer, choose the Workloads tab, and then select or deselect the workloads that you want. To add more components than a workload installs, choose the Individual components tab, and then select or deselect the individual components that you want.
Click the Windows button to open the "start" menu of your windows, and search for "Visual Studio Installer". There, you should see a menu that allows you to add additional workloads.
If you have Visual Studio open, go to Tools > Get Tools and Features... which opens the Visual Studio Installer. Or, open the Visual Studio Installer from the Start menu. From there, you can choose the workloads or components that you wish to install.
You do not need Microsoft Foundation Classes for C++ (MFC). You likely will not need SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) either. You don't need the Microsoft Office Developer Tools either because what you've specified will not require Office interop.
So in other words the only thing you need is the Microsoft Web Developer Tools.
