I've tried to create one Blank project from Visual C# Express Edition 2012. When I start my application it's in full screen mode.... I want to create an windowed application.
Where is the option for make the window mode?
P.S.: my OS is Windows 8 RC
Visual Studio Express 2012 RC doesn't yet support desktop development. It will only be available eventually in the upcoming stable release of VS2012, as a separate Express SKU called Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop.
If you must start desktop development on Windows 8 RP now, you can install Visual C# 2010 Express, which should work the same way on Windows 8 as it always does.
From what I understand about Visual C# Express 2012 you can only create Metro applications with the express version. If you want to create traditional windowed applications you have to buy the professional edition. However I think Windows 8 is compatible with older versions of VS Express.

So today I downloaded visual studio 2013 express twice (the download was canceled the first time) And when I opened it, it told me to get a windows 8 licence, and I did... The thing is, when I want to start a new project, the only template available are store app... Here's a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/7mpUNZn.png
I am aware back in visual studio 2010, there was an option for console application and I wonder where it is... Maybe I am being stupid, but I do need help! I do not want to create windows 8 application :/.
Any help would be great!
You have most likely downloaded VISUAL STUDIO 2013 EXPRESS FOR WINDOWS (STORE).
You need the edition for Windows Desktop, located here. See all links and editions in Scott Hanselman's recent blog post.
AFAIK, the version that you require to create a console application is
"Express 2013 for Windows Desktop"
There are 3 versions of Visual Studio Express.
all three versions are found here:
http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-express-vs.aspx
"Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 with Update 4 for Windows Desktop" is the current version; one can choose between "install now" and a .iso image.

I just installed a fresh copy of MS Visual Studio 2013 Express on Windows 8.1. After installing I checked out the new IDE. When I create a new C# project I need to select a project template like always. But the only options I have is: Store apps > Universal app, blank store app etc.
The problem is that I would like to create a winform project but I can't find the appropriate template. Do I need to download & install then Winform project template manually?
Edit:
This kind of project I would like to create. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd492132.aspx
I suspect you downloaded "Visual Studio Express for Windows":
You can use the tools in Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows to create innovative and compelling Windows Phone and Windows Store apps on Windows 8.1.
You want to download "Visual Studio Express for Windows Desktop":
Visual Studio Express for Windows Desktop lets you take full advantage of Windows with XAML designers, a productive IDE, and a variety of programming languages including C#, Visual Basic, and C++. Choose between Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Forms, and Win32, to target the Windows desktop with the right technology for your application and your skills.
I believe you can just download and install the "Windows Desktop" version and it'll all be fine - certainly in previous versions, you could have multiple editions installed, and they'd just be additive.
I have Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate. When first installation window popped up I could see, "Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate with Blend". I chose all options and installed successfully.
But I could not find Blend anywhere in Visual Studio when I opened it to create a new WPF project. What am I missing? I'm using Windows 7 OS. Thanks.
Have you tried searching for Blend in your start menu?
I have also installed VS 2012 Ult and my Blend works fine. In fact, I used it a few times to design Windows Store Apps
I have a project which is build in VS 2012RC, But when i zipped the project and transfer it to my machine,extracted it and try to open solution file(.sln) in my machine which also consist of VS 2012RC, it fires a pop up that
"This edition of Visual Studio only supports Windows Metro style apps".
So, What do i need to do to open the project in my machine, Please let me know if am missing something, Thanks in advance.
Visual Studio 2012 has many editions. To me you are using VS Express edition, which only supports Metro app development. Like #leppie suggested, you might install VS Ultimate edition, which can open all sorts of projects.
I have Visual Studio 2008 (sp1, .NET 3.5).
I have installed Silverlight 3 SDK and Silverlight 4 SDK beta + Sivelrlight toolkit.
I also have installed Windows Phone Developer Tools CTP that includes Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone CTP.
I have noticed that when i start a new project in VS2008 all the Silverlight templates are missing.
Any tip how to get them?
Thanx !
Sliverlight 4 integrates with Visual Studio 2010. You can currently get the Release Candiate of VS 2010.
