no chances, C# Express intentionally doesn't support any extensions (add-ins including) altogether. That's because Microsoft think that amateur developers, who are the primary target users of the product, don't need such advanced features as IDE extensions.

hmmm .. too bad! Even though these "amateur developers" are just prof-employed developers who use the s/w to do some work from home. Aww well .. maybe I'll just try to persuade my employer to buy an extra license of VS2005 for me! ;)

I've been unable to find a description of the hack on Jamie's site, but I admit the author's ingenuity. However, it seems for me (and I'm not a lawyer, of course) that using add-ins with versions of VS that explicitly don't support them is a violation of the license agreement. Look at the neighboring post of Kirk Woll - it gives a plausible explanation for not supporting add-ins in Express editions.

If you have a MSDN subscription license for your VS2005 you may install it on as many computers as you like, as long as you are the only user of the installed product or the other user has a license, too.
So installing VS2005 on your home computer should not require an additional license.
If you don't have a MSDN-based license, check your EULA. It probably still allows you to do that, because MS-Development-Tool-Licenses are often user-based instead of device-based.
Hello Rich,
AFAIK Express editions do not expose necessary integration APIs, so the answer
would be negative.

Thanks for the fast reply!

You think? I assumed it was a ploy by Microsoft to encourage people to shell out $ for the non-free versions of Visual Studio.
Perhaps you should try and talk with Jamie Cansdale, he figured out how to
hack VS2005 so that TestDriven.NET runs in Express versions of VS 2005.

Hello Kirk,
may be you're right :) Actually I don't understand why 'amateur developers'
shouldn't be
using add-ins.
