I am a fairly new programmer and I self teaching myself. I have come quite a ways, but still have a looong way to go of course. My question is regarding creating forms in visual C++ 2010. I am making a simple calculator, but once I double click one of the form objects, it takes me to the .h code rather than the .vb file, any help regarding this will be greatly appreciated.

You have the wrong Visual Studio Express, you want Visual Basic 2010 Express.

Ummm I think you got the wrong version of express. You wanted the VB version not the C++ version... They are language specific forms of the full IDE that can switch between languages...

Doh! beat me to it...

Oh I see, thanks a ton!
-
Why is it this way. Why can't I do this in C++ express?
-
@DigitalMaster37: Because the Express versions are stripped down to focus on one language/type of application. If you want to do VB, you need VB Express. C# needs C# Express, C++ needs C++ Express, and ASP.NET needs WebDev Express.

I believe you can install more than one version in the same machine... At least I have C# express and VB express installed side by each in a VM here as a test... (I use VS 2010 ultimate for work though)
-
I just installed VB, thanks to you all for the help. I was able to properly continue the program now. Thanks again!
-
@harlock123: Yup, not only do the different Express SKU's live happily side by side, but you can also safely mix versions of the same SKU (if you have some need for C# Express 2008 and 2010 for example.)

On my dev environment I have VS2003, VS2005, VS2008, VS2010 and the Beta of VS2011 all installed. As the CTO, I support products and developer teams that for one reason or another are all married to various versions of these dev environments. Now that I think about I believe VS2003 lives in a virtual machine. Either way slowly we are pulling all this mess kicking and screaming up to 1 version of VS 2010 ATM, but by the time they all get there we will have to do so again into VS2011.... It never ends...
-
@harlock123: VS11 and VS2010 can round-trip solution and project files, so the transition isn't quite to painful as in the past.

Ahh yes but it does make changes to the solution file going to VS2011, these changes don't harm VS2010 but because Source Vault is not VS2011 compatible I cannot use it just yet on anything that the others don't already have moved to 2011, unless I jump through source control hoops and all that crap, so I have one of everything installed....
