I only have Visual Basic 2008 Express editions (web and windows forms). Can I develop Silverlight applications in the Express environment? I want to start playing with it. Also - has anyone heard whether there will be any 2010 VB Express versions released? Thanks!

Why don't you try telling us what you want it to do?

A simple example: Private Sub Command1_Click() Me.CommonDialog1.ShowOpen If Me.CommonDialog1.FileName <> "" Then Me.Picture1.Picture = LoadPicture(CommonDialog1.FileName) End If End Sub However you get the path\filename of the jpg (or bitmap or GIF), just load it into a picture box with the LoadPicture function.
