Microsoft Game Technologies: XNA IDE

100| Mon, 24 Dec 2007 03:03:00 GMT| neilwalker| Comments (3)
hello,
The installation instructions for XNA sort of infer in the download you get a modified CLR and an ide based on visual studio express.

I use the full version of visual studio 2005 professional, can I use this instead or do I need to have two IDE's running?

thanks.

Neil.

Better asked over in the GSE forum... It is probably already answered there.

I think you can just reference the XNA libraries in Pro and use it. But there's no tutorials or templates built for Pro, yet.

C# Express is required to use XNA Game Studio Express. It will not work with Visual Studio Professional. You can run both products side by side without any problems.

Yeah i find that KIND of rediculous, how XNA only works with Express Edition 2005. But Hey, best for all of us on a budget right?
