problems with VS.NET 2010 C# Express Edition

[Chris]

Hello.

for some time now I'm experiencing problems with the VS.NET 2010 C#
Express Edition.

I try to change the active configuration from Release to Debug build.
I've been told to use the Configuration Manager or a standard dropdown-
listbox in a toolbar.
I know what people mean as I can use both in the VS.NET 2010 CPP
Express Edition.
But not in the C# edition.

Ok I thought... no problem. I'll try via the command window but guess
what.... no command window
to be found in this C# edition.
It is available in the C++ edition via menu item View / other
Windows / Command Window but nothing like it in C# edition

I try to activate the command window via the immediate Window and
type " > cmd" , which works in the C++ edition but NOT in C# edition.

It seems that i have a limited Express edition or what is happening
here.

Please, how do I obtain the functionalities I mentioned before: change
Active configuration , use Command window.. etc

thank you
Chris

I found the solution to the problem

Tools/Settings/Expert Settings. Then all the 2008Express menus come
back.
