Why FlexPendant Project Template Does Not Appear?

Dear all,

I have a problem about FlexPendant SDK.

My laptop is using Microsoft Windows XP + SP 3. I installed Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition on my laptop, and later the RobotStudio 5.13.01. I also have Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP 2.

But when I open the Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition and trying to open a new project about FlexPendant Interface, the template is not there.

In “FlexPendant SDK Application Manual” section “Using the project template in Visual Studio” that I read, it supposed to be looked like this:

But the reality that I saw in Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition is:

There is no such “Smart Device” nor “FlexPendant” option.

What is wrong? Did I miss something?

Does Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition suit the “Microsoft Visual Studio: VS 2005 (Standard Edition or better) or VS 2008 (Professional Edition or better )” requirement?

Thank you.

Best Regards,

Visual Studio Express Versions don’t support programming Flexpendant Applications. Install VS 2005 or 2008 Full versions.
