I can't see Visual Basic project option in Visual Studio 2008

Hey .Net Gurus,

I am very new to Visual Studio Application Development. I'm mostly a DB guy. I used Visual Studio as a Report Designer, not much of an .Net guy though I can understand it.

I am now asked to create a .net application and I'm trying to create a "Hello World" starter app. I opened my Visual Studio, click File-New Project and all I see is Business Intelligence Projects and Other Project Types. My step-by-step guide says choose Visual Basic, Windows Forms Application. But I can't see it as an option.

What am I missing here?


Thanks,

~~ CK

The visual studio that comes with SQL Server only has the BI projects. You have to buy the full version of visual studio to get everything else.

Ahh that's why. Thanks Rabbit. I'll try to install the dev version.
