This is very handy for a combined ..NET/Java build.

I specifically mentioned the Express versions because the OP noted that they are still using VS 2005, I'd have to assume the full version. So from the sounds of it the willingness to pay for anything more recent isn't there. But IMHO you can get your work done readily enough with the Express editions. AHS

Version of VS are tied quite heavily to version of .NET. VS 2005 correspsonds to .NET 2.0; if you're using 3.x or anything newer, you'll need a more recent version of VS.

However, note that the .NET 3.0 and 3.5 SDKs were usable with VS2005. There is, at least for now, no .NET 4.0 SDK as far as I can tell. So for .NET 4.0 features, VS2010 is required. It's theoretically possible they will release a .NET 4.0 SDK though that can be used to enable .NET 4 development in VS2008 (or maybe even VS2005!). Pete
