Hello Schlurk,
You can use OpenAccess Express but VS Express is limited so that our VS integration (Designer, post build step is not working) you have to do all this by hand.
It is a good start to use a time limited full version of VS and make the first design steps and then switch to the VS express version.
All the best,
Jan Blessenohl
