I just received my Expression Studio. Visual Studio 2005 and MSDN Library came with it. On one machine I installed all of it. On another, I just installed Expression Studio. Does Visual Studio add anything to Expression? It is way too much for my needs. Thanks, Andie Z
Hi, Viisual Studio and Expression Studio are actually two entirely different kind of studios... Which one you want to have installed depends on your role in software development... Expression Studio is primarily targeted at designers, while Visual Studio is for developers. Of course, those two roles overlap and if you're doing both the design and implementation, it might be worth to have both installed.

If I remember correctly, Visual Studio is to be used with Expression Blend for advance coding; so you don't really need it but it's a plus for Blend. -- Sylvain Lafontaine, ing.

You actually can't write any code in Expression Blend, other than Xaml. Implementing event handlers require the use of Visual Studio. Andrej
