Clone Detective appears as though it might work for you. I haven't used it before, but I stumbled across it on codeplex this week.

I've used it once or twice before but it did report some false positives, not many though.

Looking at the page, this states VS Standard or higher. It won't work with Express.

More as fyi, since you mentioned 'express edition' you might need to look for something that would work outside of VS, since I don't believe the express editions support plugins

The express editions explicitly don't support plug-ins. Technically it does, as some of the features shipped by MS are plug-ins, but hoops are jumped to make them work.

You could take a look at Simian or DuplicateFinder. Neither have a dependency on the IDE, although you can integrate Simian quite easily.

See CloneDR, which operates on many langauges, including C#.
EDIT October 2010: VB6, VBScript and VB.net added as languages supported by CloneDR. There is no specific support for MS IDEs, but it operates on a simple list of source files, and produces a nice HTML report, so not much integration is needed. See sample reports at link.
