To write a WM application, I have to use VS Pro cos I would need WM template and Emulator.
But if I just need to write a dll, is it possible to do it in VS Express?
Many thanks.
No. The express SJUs of Visual Studio do not have the compiler pieces for Smart Device Development. You need VS 2005 Standard or better or VS 2008 Professional of better.

I have developed a winform application using VS Express 2015.**Now I want to create a '**Setup Installer' to deploy my application on client machines. Maybe I am asking a silly/stupid question, but still I want to know if it's possible to create the Setup Installer using Visual Studio 2010. I haven't tried it because of currently limited HD Space in my laptop.
In short, yes it is possible. I think this is the documentation you are looking for:

I have installed Visual Studio Express version for C#. Now I need to use VB.Net. However I don't see VB.Net files. And I tried searching to install both, but it seems both comes separately...
How can I install Visual Studio Express, so that it can support both C# and VB.Net?
For Visual Studio 2010 you need to download the "Visual Basic 2010 Express" version from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads#d-2010-express
Install link - http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9709929
For some reason they decided to split the desktop edition into three one for C#, one for VB.NET and one for C++. You can install all three (or four if you include the Web Application Developer version) along side each other without any problems. They are designed to work like this.
The Visual Studio 2012 version (Visual Studio 2012 for Windows Desktop) includes C#, VB.NET and C++ in one application.

You can install this along side your 2010 versions if necessary.
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.
What is the simplest version of Visual Studio (professional, enterprise, or other) that I could purchase that supports C# or F# development?
It looks like F# is downloadable from Microsoft for no charge and comes in configurations
that would allow .Net and non-.Net development with or without Visual Studio. Am I missing something?
Is the same true for C#? That is is it downloadable without cost?
Thank you.
The simplest single version of Visual Studio which supports both developing in F# and C# is professional.
It's possible to install multiple free versions of the Visual Studio shell to allow you to develop C# and F# locally
C# via Express SKU
F# via Free Tools + Isolated Shell
This won't give you a single IDE though for developing in both languages.
C# is downloadable without cost as either part of the Windows SDK (which provides a commandline compiler csc) or Visual C# Express, which provides an IDE.
F# is available either in commandline form (fsc) or as a Visual Studio plugin, which requires the VS Shell (which is freely downloadable) or a full (non-Express) Visual Studio.
This means that you must purchase at least VS Professional to open both types of projects in the same editor, but you could also use a combination of VS Express and VS Shell for free.
Visual Studio Express Editions allows you to develop in NET languages. For example Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Express and it has no cost.
However it lacks many features. If you need a more powerful IDE, you can use SharpDevelop. It has no cost and allow you to develop in C#, F# and many more. Give it a try. Good luck!
I need to setup a c# ide (free) on his laptop, do I need to download the sdk or does windows 7 come with a c# compiler? (it's been a while setting something up from scratch)
You can try Visual C# 2010 Express, it's a free version of Visual Studio for C# development, and IMHO more than enough for someone learning that you don't really need the full VS2010 package.
Download Visual C# 2010 Express edition. It's free, you can find further information here: http://www.microsoft.com/express/Windows/
Just use Microsoft Visual Studio Express.

The Microsoft Web Platform Installer can be used to install Visual Studio Express, and also easily install many of the other MS tools like WebMatrix.
The Microsoft Web Platform Installer
3.0 (Web PI) is a free tool that makes getting the latest components of the
Microsoft Web Platform, including
Internet Information Services (IIS),
SQL Server Express, .NET Framework and
Visual Web Developer easy.
Similarly Linqpad is a great tool for playing around and dynamic prototyping. I can't advocate it enough.
... LINQPad is more than just a LINQ
tool: it's an ergonomic C#/VB
scratchpad that instantly executes any
C#/VB expression, statement block or
program with rich output formatting –
the ultimate in dynamic development.
Put an end to those hundreds of Visual
Studio Console projects cluttering
your source folder!
Look for the free version of Visual Studio 2008. Not sure if there is one for 2010. It's at the Microsoft site. http://www.microsoft.com/express/downloads/#2008-Visual-CS
Framework is sufficient, IIRC.
