Is Visual Stidio 2010 Express Supported?

[JakubSisak]

I am in the process to migrating to ArcGIS 10. I have a lot of VBA customization that i would like to convert to the new "add-ins" structure. 
Can i use VS 2010 Express or do I need to stick with 2008.  In the article below, VS 2010 Express is not listed as one of the supported IDEs.

For ESRI forum staff:  Will ArcGIS Desktop v10.0 be supported in Visual Studio 2010 Express within the next quarter of this year?

It is already supported according to this ArcGIS blog:

vb 2010 express works fine.  Just remember framework 3.5.  The installation is the only pain in the ass part you might have to add in the esri tools manual.

Hello

if I understand rigth from last posts: Visual Basic 2010 Express is supported, but how to install ArcObjects SDK, because some window popups and it says that I don't have installed supported version of Visual Studio, so i cannot instal SDK ?

It seems that you will have to install VS 2008 Express then the SDK then remove VS 2008 and install VS 2010 Express.  Unless the most current installer has been upgraded.

I am a new user and installed ArcGIS SDK on a machine with VS Express 10 on it.  The Windows Mobile SDK would not extract or install correctly without VS Express 8 being on the machine.  The problem was VS Express 8 won't install with VS Express 10 install previously.   The work around that I used was to install VS Express 8 on a spare laptop, extract the Windows Mobile SDK, transfer the files from that laptop to the desktop that I am using.

I'm not sure if this is the best way to do that because I am just learning but it seems to work alright with the minor projects that I am using to learn.
