    yeah i kind of figured it was just made specifically for c#express. thanks for your responses guys!!! i got a question for you michael i noticed that you responded to another thread stating that they were having problems viewing the xna tab on the toolbox. i followed your tips on how to display it but, i noticed that my folder structure is different than what you explained. mine is like...C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio and after that it goes into v8.0 then nothing. i tried reinstalling xna again but, no luck. any ideas

    Hey ThEpRoPhEcY373, That post refers to a product called XNA Build which is different from XNA Game Studio Express. XNA Game Studio Express does not have any custom toolbox items that I am aware of. Are you using XNA Build

    thanks mike and jedy for your responses!!!

    To add line numbers:

    Tools->Options (like usual)

    When you try to go to TextEditor->All Languages->General all the settings you want are missing. If you click a checkbox in the lower left, "Show all settings," they all come back. Then you can go to TextEditor->All Languages->General and toggle the "Line numbers" check box.

    The templates contain only basic setup code to make things work without any setup right now but in the future things like deploy to Xbox and the XNA Framework Content Pipeline will be part of this as well.

    Thanks!

    As far as I am aware the templates don't work, but what you can do is maybe open up Express and take all that code and write it out yourself in an empty project add all the resources etc. There are however things that are in the Express edition that will not be in Visual Studio tool wise. If I was at my computer at home I could tell you what it was called but the thing in C# Express at the bottom where you mess with some of your objects such as sprites meshes etc. Is only in the C# express edition. However, C# Express is basically only the C# version of VS.NET so a lot of the functionality should be there maybe not all of it though.

    Why do you want to use express when you can use VS2005, the templates aren't that important (except the game example)
