Not sure about the express editions, but here's a comparision between
Standard and Professional:

The express editions are probably quite similar to Standard, but are split
into different products. You won't get integrated source control in the
express editions.

Standard is a conglomeration of the express skus, essentially. If you have
all of the Express products, you have most of standard.

One bit that will work in standard that does not work in Express is
multi-project solutions. You can only run one project at a time.

I am not sure there is a precise comparison between express and other skus.

You can actually have multiple projects defined in one express solution. You
cannot have multiple languages, nor can you create depoloyment & setup
projects. You can develop a main app project with multiple supporting class
libraries.

I thought it was only one project, so you have given me some good news.

I guess I should amend this to say: You cannot edit both a web application
and a class library in the same instance, as Web Developer Express does not
allow you to edit class library projects.
