I was wondering if it is possible to create metro style apps (Html5 etc) for Windows 8 using templates for Visual visual studio 2010?
I know there is a download for Visual Studio Express 11.
TIA
JD
VS2010 can not be used to create Metro style applications you need to use Visual Studio that came with the Windows Developer Preview.

I have interest on creating mobile apps. So is it possible to create a app using visual studio 2010 ultimate. What is the difference between Visual Studio 2010 Express and visual studio 2010 ultimate.
Depends on what platform you want to make mobile aps - Windows Phone/Android/iOS
For Windows Phone - you can download the Mobile development SDK for VS2010 which will allow you to create mobile apps.
As for the difference between versions - content. With Ultimate you have more project templates, tools,supports more programing languages and is paid, while Express is a free version with less content for the more average user.
I need to convert my old Windows Phone 6 application from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Studio 2012. Is it possible or not?
From the forums I came to know that Windows Phone 6 SDK is no longer supported in versions 2010 and above
windows mobile 6 standard sdk not detecting visual studio 2010 beta installed

Does Visual Studio 2010 support Windows Metro style applications?
I am going to build a Microsoft WP7 application. I have Visual Studio 2010 and I have installed SDK7.1. I am not getting Metro style as an option so what do I have to do?
You will need to get the Visual Studio 11 Dev Preview to start working on Metro apps. The Express version can be downloaded in the Windows 8 Dev Preview.
If you want to build a Windows Phone application, you can use Visual Studio 2010. If you want to build a Windows 8 Metro application, you need the Windows 8 and Visual Studio 11 developer previews as #Kenneth-Funk mentioned.
You can't convert your WP7 app to Win 8 Metro. You have to rewrite since you're moving from Silverlight to WinRT development.
I have Visual-studio 2010 prot and I am trying to create a Windows-mobile or Windows-CE project, but I don't see how to do it.
Can anyone help ?
No, Window Mobile development is not available in VS 2010. You must use VS 2008.
If you want to do Windows Phone 7, you can (and must) use VS 2010, but it is not the same as Windows Mobile (i.e. Smart Device) development on the Compact Framework.
Here's the official word: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sa69he4t.aspx
For VS 2010 there is Visual Studio Phone. You can check VS 2010 Phone.
You can find there a lot more for windows phone development.
No, it is unsupported, you have to use Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008.
On Visual Studio 2010 you can target Windows Phone 7 applications: http://www.microsoft.com/express/phone/
You can go here and vote to have Microsoft add Compact Framework Support for Visual Studio 2010.
I just pulled the 2010 ultimate from MSDN, and I see there's no "Smart Device" options anymore. Does anybody knows how to enable it, or how to install it?
Sincerely,
Yvan
According to various sources in the net Visual Studio 2010 doesn't support Windows Mobile 6.5 development (see here and here for example). Of course there might be an SDK available in the future. For now, you need to use Visual Studio 2008.
Now you can with windows phone SDK7.1 You just need Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and download the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 from here
