I cannot believe some of the negative comments here. I have worked in IT for many years and remember having to write my C and Java programs with the UNIX vi editor (look it up).

These products are superior quality development platforms with so many excellent features that it is easy to write good quality programs. And the number one feature which so often gets overlooked is that they cost ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

And no, I do not work for Microsoft, but I do recognise quality when I see it.

Hey Bob,

Per Wes Hutchins from the Expres team, the C++ Express IDE without the .NET Framework is 79MB, this includes all pre-reqs like VC redist, headers, Win32 libs, and other SDK tools.

How many megabytes is the Visual C++ Express 2008 download?

By the way, I originally asked that question on February 22, 2008 (scroll up), and nobody has posted an answer.

If I downloaded some DLL files off the codeplex website for a control that I want to use (a autohide/pinto control group)

How do I go from DLL to a control that I can place on my form?

Can this be done with the Express Edition? (C#)

I have been attempting to get them to validate my email address for months now. For some reason, they do not seem capable of actually sending me an email. It is probably because it's not a microsoft owned domain name....
