Can I use Visual C# 2010 express to create a MVC application?

Question

I'm coming from java so this is entirely new to me. I have Visual C# 2010 Express installed and I'd like to create a ASP.NET MVC 3.0 (which I downloaded and installed) application. Is that possible? Should I install Visual Web Developer instead?

I was hoping in some kind of "plug-in" architecture. I guess Visual C# and Web Developer share a lot of code, so it should be simple to just add pieces. Oh well. — agnul

Yes. To create Web Apps, you need Visual Web Developer Express. Visual C# 2010 Express if for console applications and windows forms application.

You can install Visual Studio 2012 Express edition which includes ASP.NET MVC 4 from here.

I believe you need to install Visual Web Developer, yes. Basically Visual C# Express is for non-web apps, IIRC.

Note that if you're going to install a new version anyway, you might as well upgrade to VS 2012 which is now available (including in Express editions).
