As mentioned, there is a free plug-in available.  Note, though, that it does 
not work Visual Studio Express (the free versions), because these versions 
of Visual Studio don't support any plug-ins at all.  You need at least 
Visual Studio Standard (Pro, Team System, etc. of course will also work).

Also note that the free Qt plug-in is not the same (the Add-in) is not the 
same as the one available for commercial Qt customers (the Visual Studio 
integration).  They provide similar functionality, but the paid one embeds 
the Qt Designer within the IDE, where as the free one merely launches the 
external Qt Designer.  My feeling is the external Qt Designer has more 
features and polish than the internal one, so this is no great loss.

Cheers,
David
