installing nSight Studio with Visual Studio

I would like to start programming CUDA. I've installed Visual Studio 2010 Express. I've also isntalled nVidia nSight Visual Studio. And I have all common prerequisites (Net FrameWork, Java, ...)

But I cannot see any CUDA option in my Visual Studio options nor project properties. What should I do? Do I also need to install the Cuda toolkit? It's offered as a separate package but nSight has already installed something called cuda toolkit.

regards

I'm using Windows 7 64bit

You need to install Cuda toolkit and Nsight for debugging. As far as vs 2012 is concerned did you follow this guide? http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsdesktop/CUDA-50-and-Visual-Studio-20e71aa1#content

Although I made it work for build I cannot debug with nsight cause its just incompatible with visual studio 2012. I've tried nsight 3 rc2 Till now, I haven't found any way to make it work and I think I have to reinstall VS 2010...

"Nsight Visual Studio 2012 support will come with the next version that is scheduled for Q2'13. One big reason for not supporting VS2012 is that the CUDA 5.0 toolkit doesn't support the new toolchain. Sorry for the inconvenience. I should mention that the next release candidate of Nsight 3.0 will support C++ AMP debugging in VS2012 (but no other Graphics or CUDA features will be supported)"

Due to a technical limitation in the Visual Studio Express editions, Nsight for Visual Studio only supports Visual Studio 2008 Professional and above and Visual Studio 2010 Professional and above.
