SharpDevelop, a free .NET development environment.
#develop (short for SharpDevelop) is a free IDE for C#, VB.NET and Boo projects on Microsoft’s .NET platform. It is open-source, and you can download both sourcecode and executables from this site. I have personally used SharpDevelop in many free and commercial products I have developed. SharpDevelop provides many features that the Visual Studio Pro products offer but Visual Studio Express editions don’t. However, the product is not developed by Microsoft.
If you are looking for a Visual Studio IDE but just can’t afford the Visual Studio Pro licensing right now, give SharpDevelop a try.
