Is it possible to create simple C # programs using VS2010 Express?

Question

I participate in the C # learning process. I downloaded and installed Visual Studio 2010 Express with C #. The problem is that it has all of these templates that are a bit overwhelming at the moment: ASP.NET website, library, WCF, etc.

I just want to build something very simple, which takes input from the Console and displays it. I do WCF, but it is really inconvenient. It's faster for me to download ideone.com , enter my code and compile than do it from my own machine.

Is it even possible to create simple C # programs using VS2010 Express?

Thanks to all who responded. I installed Visual C # and now I can create console applications. But now the command window closes immediately after it does what it does. Can I get it in the IDE, as I would with Java on Eclipse or Netbeans?

"But now the command window closes right after it does everything it does. Can I output it to the IDE, as I would with Java on Eclipse or Netbeans?"

Try to work without debugging mode (Ctrl + F5 or Shift + F5 or other binding depending on your keyboard settings). The program will wait for the keystroke to exit.
