I have Visual C# Express 2010 installed on my machine to develop windows application. I read about and have used dev express with visual studio 2010. So I wanted to install dev exprss on my machine and use its tools in Visual C# Express 2010. I have installed dev express but the controls are not showing in the toolbox. I tried adding them in the toolbox options but the dev express tools are not present there. Is dev express not supported to be used with Visual C# Express 2010?
You can't - this isn't a Dev Express limitation per se, but a limitation of the Express SKUs of Visual Studio: they don't allow plugins to be installed. So the same is true for ReSharper, NCrunch etc.
It's one of the differentiation points between the Express range and the commercial editions of Visual Studio.

I just installed visual studio 2013 on windows 8.1
When i go to new project then in the windows visual studio is not showing web templates like web pages, MVC 3,4,5 and other stuff like Windows form application and data bases. Visual studio is just showing phone apps development templates. why is this so because i have installed visual studio express with update 2 and i think its latest.
I tried many things like repairing update 2 and installed other asp.net templates for visual studio 2013 but i am not getting on my way...
Please suggest me solutions
The Express versions of Visual Studio come in flavors for desktop and web. It sounds like you might want Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web. If you want the more full featured version, check out the commercial versions here.
There's also a few ways to get the commercial versions for free. If you're a small company, check out the BizSpark program. If you're a student, check out the DreamSpark program.
Both Web and Desktop can be installed at the same time. I have both installed on my Windows Server 2012 Box
How do I open .rptproj in Visual Studio 2013 Pro? When I try to open SSRS projects originally created in VS2008, in VS2013 I get:
Unsupported
This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects. The project types may not be installed or this version of Visual Studio may not support them.
For more information on enabling these project types or otherwise migrating your assets, please see the details in the "Migration Report" displayed after clicking OK.
It can be opened with Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for VS2013:

The download is live again as of 6/2/14
You should install Business Intelligence Studio, it comes as part of MS SQL Server installation.
Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) — is a part of MS SQL Server. BIDS is a IDE for rdl reports development based on Visual Studio Shell. BIDS allows you to open .rptproj files. If you install BIDS on the same box with your regular Visual Studio, you will be able to open .rptproj and .csproj files from one IDE.
The issue is that SQL Server installations include BIDS based on previous version of Visual Studio Shell, i.e. SQL Server 2008 R2 will provide you BIDS integrated to Visual Studio 2008, while SQL Server 2012 BIDS will be based on Visual Studio 2010.
As far as I know, there is no BIDS that integrates into VS2013.
There is version for VS2012.
SQL Server 2014 will ship BIDS based on VS2012 as well.
I believe we will see BIDS for VS2013 not earlier than in SQL Server 2016.
SSRS is not a part of VS2013, it is part of SQL Server. You need the BI Dev Studio installed in order to be able to open SSRS projects (rptproj). It uses VS2013 just as a shell similar to what other products do...
For Visual Studio 2017 you need to download an install SSDT for VS 2017 (standalone installer) with SQL Server Reporting Services.

I have Visual Studio 2008 Business Intelligence version that was installed along with Reporting Services for SQL Server 2008 R2. I want to work with C#, but there are no options to create a C# project. I haven't been able to find any way to install a C# package or something.
Is there a way to add on C# functions, are they already built in but hidden, or should I just download a full version?
Thanks
UPDATE:
So I finally managed to find a download of Visual Studio 2008 Express, and installed the C# version. After installing I launched visual studio and it was the same thing, only the sql server projects came up as templates.
I found a forum that said to go into import and export settings and to reset my settings to general development settings, but I still cannot make a c# project.
UPDATE2:
I'm going to try installing VS 2012 Express to see if that works for me, since its the only download microsoft has that you can easily find now.
UPDATE3:
VS 2012 Express has been working just fine for me, and I still don't have the project templates in VS 2008 though.
You'll need to install one of the stand-alone editions of Visual Studio. Business Intelligence Studio, bundled with SQL Server, doesn't allow you to work with C# or other language projects.
SQL Server 2008 Business Intelligence Development Studio ("BIDS") is just an add-on over standard Visual Studio (VS 2008 in this case).
If you hadn't had Visual Studio installed before deploying BIDS, the most basic VS shell was installed along BIDS that does not allow you to work with projects other than the SQL Server BI family.
For you to work with .Net projects, despite being able to edit basic C# files already, you will need to reinstall any version of regular Visual Studio 2008 (e.g. licensed, express). This won't break your BIDS.
I was testing out Visual Studio Express 2012 for Desktop to get used to the new features(even though there aren't many), however my C# class uses VS 2010. I cannot seem to open a winform application that was created in VS 2012 in VS 2010.
Is there anyway I can allow the solution to open in 2010? I checked the microsoft documents on compatibility, however it wasn't very clear.
Your Visual Studio 2010 needs to have SP1 installed in order to go back and forth between 2012 and 2010.
it only works between VS2010 sp1 and VS2012

Is is possible to create silverlight content in C# using Visual Studio 2005 Professional or Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition? I can't find an answer on Microsoft's web site. Thanks for any help!
I belive you can with 2008 express.
Make sure you install SP1 to 2008 then install everything else from here (it has the SP1 download as well)
Yes if the express edition is Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition. Here is a quote from this blog post from the guy who runs the development team for Silverlight at Microsoft:
Developers can use either VS 2008 or
the free Visual Web Developer 2008
Express to open and edit Silverlight 2
projects, and get a powerful
code-focused .NET development
environment.
I think you should take a look at Visual Web Developer Express and the Silverlight Tools
2005 i think you can only create 1.0 project ; and yes you can create SL 2.0 projects in VS 2008 express(visual web developer) but you will need SP1 and the tools everything you need is here
