Hi All, I am new to .NET, and have just downloaded "Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition Beta 2". I want to start building C# applications but on Selecting File->New Project, gives an empty box with no "project types" and "templates".
Do I have to install C# express edition separately OR is the installation incorrect.
Thanx
Varun

Varun,
This is correct. VS.NET is a full version of VS, while the edition you have (Web Express) is a "light" version of VS which geared more towards hobbyist programmers developing web applications.

Varun,
To develop console or windows forms apps you will have to install the C# express edition, not the web edition. If you look under the "new" item on the file menu, you should see something for "new web site" under the "new project" item. This should give you some options for creating ASP.NET websites.
Hope this helps.

I haven't tried Visual Web Developer. But that should definitely display something. Must be an installation issue.. Consider reinstalling...
BTW, are you trying to create web apps if you target the windows forms apps then yes, you should download the Visual C# Express...
Here's the link...

But, just curious...I am referring to this book - Programming in C# (by ORielly), where it talks about using C# in visual studio 2005. It asks to go to file->New->New Project where it gives options for all the supported languages (C#,J#, etc.) and from there you can select C# and then say Console application or something. So, does that mean that I have to install some different version of Visual Studio to have it all in one If Yes, then Plz let me know which one is it
Thanx again for ur replies

Varun,
You will have to purchase it, as it is not a free product. If you have a subscription to MSDN (universal or enterprise, I believe), then I believe you get a copy with that, but you should check the MSDN site for more details.
