This looks interesting, however there doesn't appear to be an express edition of Visual Studio 2008. Do you mean any of the express editions or does it need to be studio?
Thanks and Best Regards, Richard

Eric,

Do you mean any of the express edition ** languages ** such as "Visual C#", "Visual Basic" etc or does it need to be "Visual Studio 2008"?

I couldn't find an express edition of "Visual Studio 2008", I don't think there is one.

Thanks.

Express editions don't contain more than one language. There is an express edition for each. So when somebody says "Visual Studio 2008 Express" they mean "For your particular language of choice, go download the express edition of 2008 for that language."

So, to be EVEN MORE clear, if you like C#, download Visual Studio 2008 Express for C#. If you like VB, download Visual Studio 2008 Express for VB.NET. If you like C++, Visual Studio 2008 Express for C++. If you like Boo, you're going to have to download Visual Studio Shell and create a custom package for the Boo language. I believe there is already a package for Visual Studio 2008, so you might have to twiddle it a little to get it working in Shell.
