I currently have a license to visual studio 2010 pro. I always liked visio, but the price has been pretty high to invest. I know that it can work with VS to auto generate classes and also reverse engine VS projects to visio maps. Problems is last I looked it was only for Visual Studio Team Edition.
My question is are there any actual advantages Visio provides for VS2010 Pro / any features that can be used between the two, or is it just limited to VS2010 Team / Ultimit.
I will be purchasing before the 1st if the two can work side by side. Simply explanations on how you can use it and benefits is much appreciated! Again I only have VS 2010 pro
Thanks in advance!

I am considering creating a simple ribbon tab with a few options that would significantly increase my productivity at work.
As far as I see from MSDN, I can only do this by using MS Visual Studio, but I don't really want to purchase one (though I am keen to share the code as an open source project).
Do you know if I can do this using Community Edition of the software or I need a Professional edition at least?
Answer is Yes, i.e you can do this using Community edition of Visual Studio.
If i can ask this here: since there is tons of people that use Visual Studio here i would like to know why i should buy Visual Studio Professional.
I'm using Visual Studio Express.
What i can do/ or what/why it would make my life easy with Pro edition?
And one think that i don't get, i need to renew every year it?
Or is it lifetime?
I just renew if i want a new version?
The "plugins" is really better or can i live without it?
The table in Microsoft site don't compare express version with others.

You shouldn't buy it, at least not if you're a solo developer or small company.
Microsoft now provide their Visual Studio Community Edition at no cost, and it's a big step up from the Express editions.
Visual Studio Community 2013 includes all the great functionality of Visual Studio Professional 2013, designed and optimized for individual developers, students, open source contributors, and small teams.
So, if you're a small shop, that's the one I'd be looking at.
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!!!
I'm new to Visual Studio 2010 and have both Visual Studio 2005 and 2010 installed on my PC.
I need to work on a windows application that needs to run under the 2.0 .net framework, but I'm not sure which version of Visual Studio would be more suitable for developing this application. Please help me.
I'd go with 2010 - just due to the new refactoring support. And performance-wise my findings suggest that 2010 is somewhat better (especially if you have a decent workstation - especially graphics adapter).
Advantages
We can start taking advantage of the new tooling features, without having to immediately upgrade the clients and servers running our application’s to .NET 4.0.The improved multi-targeting support will ensure that this experience is even better and more accurate than before.
Disadvantages
If some of our team members still using visual studio 2005, there will be a problem when checking in project files.
I want to do so because intellisense option for clr console application is not working in visual studio 2010..
Yes, you can. They will run side by side.
However, if you have professional installed, wouldn't it be better to update the install and add c++ to it?
There is no Intellisense support for C++/CLI in Visual Studio 2010 (including in SP1 and the Express edition).
I've been using Visual Assist X from Whole Tomato software for the last few weeks and am very happy with their Intellisense support. From the research I did, it appears that theirs is about the best going (Resharper for example does not support C++).
No, this is not going to solve your problem. The IntelliSense parser is exactly the same in the Express edition, it also doesn't support parsing C++/CLI code. You'll need to find the installer for the VS2008 Express edition. That's going to be quite difficult, you cannot get it from Microsoft anymore. Or you'll have to bear and grin it until the next version for Visual Studio, the Microsoft team promised it will be supported again.
Do keep in mind that you are not writing C++ code, C++/CLI is a very distinct language. There isn't much point in writing complete console mode apps in C++/CLI, you might as well use C#. There's an Express edition for that as well, IntelliSense works.
