Visual studio installation - visual-studio-2010

when i'm installing "visual studio 2010 xpress editon" , its asks to install all products one by one like c++, C#, web developer. but ater intsallatoion when they comes with different application. one for C# and another for web dev. I want all them in one. how to do that?

I am afraid you can't have that.You can work on one environment at a time.

wikipedia:
Visual Studio 2005, 2008, and 2010 Express consist of the following separate products
Visual Basic Express
Visual C++ Express
Visual C# Express
Visual J# Express (2005 only)
Visual Web Developer Express
Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone (2010 only)
programmers' post:
The biggest difference is that Express editions do not support plugins (No ReSharper, no add-ons). Additionally, the non-express versions are all combined, meaning you don't have to switch back and forth to get features from individual express versions if you have a project that crosses web, desktop, etc.

Acquiring Microsoft Expression Blend

I'm having some serious trouble downloading Microsoft Expression Blend. I want to learn to work with Microsoft Silverlight, so I downloaded Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web Update 1.
I have created a silverlight project and edited it successfully, and now I'm at the point in my learning in which Expression Blend comes in handy (animations and styling).
On the Microsoft Expression download page, it is clearly stated that "Blend continues to ship as a standalone tool with Visual Studio 2013". However, I cannot find Blend anywhere on my Windows 7 laptop, nor do I see any way to open Blend from within Visual Studio.
I do know that all the things that can be done in Expression Blend can be done in Visual Studio programmatically, but I would prefer to do them visually in Blend.
To use Expression Blend, do I need a different version of Visual Studio (Web vs Desktop etc.)? Do I need to update Visual Studio? Is it required that I buy the professional edition?
From your link it states:
You can download Blend for Visual Studio 2013 with Visual Studio Express for Windows, Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone, and Visual Studio Professional 2013 and higher.
No mention of Visual Studio for Web. So you need to Download one of the above mentioned express versions or spring for the professional edition.

The difference between Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Web Developer 2010 Express?

What is the difference between purchasing Visual Studio 2010 Express, and downloading Visual Web Developer 2010 Express?
Although I created a company website using Visual Web Developer 2010 Express (I love this product!), I'm not an experienced programmer. But I'm wondering if Visual Studio 2010 Express is just as good, or better, and if it will do the same things as VWD.
I just can't google any good links that compares the two.
Microsoft has it:
MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO - microsoft.com
and Definition of
Microsoft Visual Studio Express - Wikipedia
Just click on learn more in each product to see their differences.

On the "Visual Studio Express 2010" disk VS2010Express.iso which I downloaded from Microsoft it turned out that Visual Studio Express consist of:
Visual C#,
Visual Basic,
Visual C++,
"Visual Web developer".
So to answer the original question here I think that Visual Web developer is one part of the whole disk called Visual Studio. But don't go there if you do not have to:
I am currently upgrading from Visual Studio 2008 because of the bug in .Net 2.0 / 3.5 related to not being able to work with (not recognizing) Internet Explorer 10, but now I get bugs related to App_GlobalResources. The whole Globalization function just does not work anymore. I am in a Hackathon nightmare of 48 hours trying to survive. I think that MS wanted to get you all on board with the free express edition but it is payback time now. I think I am going back to Uniface which is upward compatible. Once again, there is no such thing as free!!!

Small but nice differences between VS 2010 Professional and Web Developer Express 2010?

I have found similar posts to this one, such as;
Visual Studio Vs Visual Web Developer,
What are the limitations of Visual Web Developer Express 2010?
What are the differences between visual studio and VS express edition?
But I have a encountered a selection of minor differences such as in VWD it's not possible to make conditional breakpoints and you can not hit Ctrl+comma to launch the very time-saving Navigate to-dialog. What more diffences like these are there? It seems impossible to find a comprehensive list of these... Please note that it is the 2010 editions I'm interested in to compare.

Wave-vs.net Pair Programming for Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition

Is there a plugin for Visual Studio C++ 2008/2010 express edition just like wave-vs.net live pair programming program? Or do I have to download and install the full version of Visual Studio?
Now we have enabled wave-vs.net to support Pair Programming on Visual C++ Project Items.
This new feature has been enabled for Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010.
You can download updated wave-vs.net Plugin from http://www.wave-vs.net
Kind Regards

Taking a look on internet you can see Third Party Extensibility Packages are not support for Vs2008 or Vs2010 express editions by Microsoft.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/vsxprerelease/thread/c79aa771-01b3-47bd-a57f-a5e7f4d884ba
So, for you to be able to use wave-vs.net for Remote Pair Programming you will need Complete Visual Studio.Net Version (2008 or 2010)
Thank you for your interest.

Going from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2010 Express Editions

I use C# and asp.net in visual studio 2008 standard. I just found out that there is no Visual studio 2010 standard.
I can't really afford Visual studio 2010 Pro.
So what am I going to lose when (if) I start using
C# 2010 express
web dev 2010 express
Have a look at this question, it has a complete list.
Prices were leaked here: Microsoft names Visual Studio 2010 dates. There is no Standard edition, Visual Studio 2010 Professional will be priced at $799, ooouuuuch!!!
I'm using the express editions of VS 2010 and here's what I've found to be missing compared to VS 2008 Pro:
No support for plugins at all (e.g. no Resharper or what not)
No windows Service template (this is really odd as this exists in VS 2008 C# express edition, so it must've been removed from 2008 express to 2010 express)
And that's pretty much it, there are probably other things missing too, however I haven't come across anything else.
I've used VS 2008 express editions at home for a long time (and now 2010 express), but run VS 2008 Pro at work.
