visual studio express

Question

I installed sqlserver express 2008, visual basic express 2008 and visual c# express 2008, and AFTER that, I installed the visual studio express 2008.

I would like to be able to start new projects in any of the above languages directly from VS. How do I integrate them to my current installed version of VS? (the only thing I can do with it as it stands now is launch a SQL Server reporting service)

Hi Rcopquin,

Do you mean that you want to create different projects like VB, C# or C++ in one VS express IDE?

Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition is the all-in-one installer package. It includes Visual Basic Express, Visual C# Express, Visual C++ Express and Visual Web Development Express.

As far as I know, these express editions have different IDEs. For instance, you cannot debug VB.NET project in C# IDE. Thus, for express editions, your requirement is not supported.
However, for standard edition or later, it is supported. You can create VB, C#, C++ and web project in one VS IDE.

If you have any further concern, please feel free to let me know.

Thanks
