I need to use WCF in Microsoft Visual C# Express. I found the following Link which shows how to copy and use the templates:
How to add WCF templates to Visual Studio Express? . But I have only the express edition of Microsoft Visual C#; I don't have Visual Studio, so I am unable to copy the templates. I tried to install Web Developer Express, but installation fails.
Is there any other way to include the WCF in Microsoft Visual C#?

I am developing an asp .net website in visual studio express 2012 for web. I need to publish this website to another sever. But the publish option is not there in my visual studio.
On researching I found that publish option is not there because of the express edition and a kind of 'publish update' is available for visual studio. Since I am using an express edition, can I install and add that to my visual studio ? Could you please send me a download link if anyone available.
Could anyone help me ?
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 have a SOAP endpoint implemented in Zend Framework.
When I create a C# project with Visual Studio Professional 2008, add a web service reference and use the service, it works like a charm. I can also import the project into Visual Studion Express (C#) 2008 and Visual Studio Express Desktop 2012. Those work too.
If i create the same project in one of the express versions of Visual Studio, they will throw a SoapHeaderException. Same settings and everything.
Apparently the projects created with an Express version of VS can only use Webservices that send primitives and one-dimensional arrays.
WSDL.exe runs through without errors or warnings.
Anybody experienced these problems before?
I've used the Visual Studio 2010 Express All-In-One to install Visaul C# and Visual Web Developer.
Once I opened Visual C# and tried to create a WCF Application, I couldn't find it.
After looking on internet I found a tip to do it on stackoverflow.
I have done exactly like the guy explained, and now I have WCFServiceProject.
Now everything seems to be correct, but when I try to create a WCF project I get this error
Any ideas ?
Using Visual Studio Express, you have to explicitly start Visual Web Developer Express to create a project of type WCF Service Application.
Visual C# Express even doesn't allow to add existing WCF projects to an existing solution.
If your installation doesn't offer this type of project from the (default) installed project types you should check your installation options.
I don't think you have the option to create a WCF Application in Visual Studio 2010 Express.
I am trying to find a way to develop my own Add-in in C# for Visual Studio 2005 at home, but I don't have the template that comes in the full version of the VS2005.
If I get the template, can I compile it on the Express edition?
Does anyone have it? Where can I find it?
I can't comment specifically on the Add-in Project template, but I know that the Express version of Visual Studio doesn't have the template for Windows Services, but also doesn't have the required libraries (System.ServiceProcess) to be able to compile a Windows Service project.
A trial of VS 2005 might be hard to come by these days, but have you tried downloading a trial of VS 2010 and, if you need to, targeting the .NET 2.0 framework?
