    No, Express programs do not include these app's. They also do not include the MFC files + some more of the aspects of the Pro version of VS.

    There should be a way to hard code some of the apps you are asking about. I have not tryied this in the Express pro's. I use VS 2003 Pro untill 05 ship's.

    You might try a new post > "How to write procedures or functions using C# Express "

    What version of SQL 2005 have you installed on your system, If you installed the developer edition you should have the tools to do this. If you have installed the Express edition, at the moment you are able to program functions and procedures using one of a few ways.. Use the command line, or have a look at the Management Application for SQL Express, this is available from the MS Download site but at the moment is only at CTP (Nov) Level.

    For the other apps these have been removed as part of the strip down for the Express products, there are still ways that you can develop some solutions, but most of the wizards and such are only available in the standard, Pro and above versions.
