Hi does anyone know if I could download and install visual c# express on the same machine that i have visual basic express? I am worried it might overwrite some of my projects if I do.

There would be no problem with that as they are just smaller versions of the larger professional editions - I've got both on my computer with no problem there.

No problems.
Visual C# and Visual Basic are just parts of Visual Studio. almost exactly the same as Word and Excel are part of Office.

Plus, C# and Basic are two completely different programming languages, with different ways of handling code (eg how it is written)

So you shouldn't have to worry about it overwriting, I know that 'cause I have briefly used Visual Basic and C# on the same computer as well.
