I still have much to learn of the ins and outs of VS 2008 and C#, but please help and excuse my ignorance.

I have visual Studio 2008 standard edition as well as Visual C# express IDE. In standard, I can't get it to do anything when I am trying to edit a wpf project. It does show some of the components from the drag an drop menu when I ad a wpf project to the solution, but it doesn't give me a wpf interop control, yet the express does give me a wpf interop, but it won't show the components for one project, but when I try to make a user control in that project it does.

I really need help here because I'm trying to make a sophisticated but my IDEs are all coming short in one way or another.
