Can the Express Edition of Visual C# compile distributable class libraries
(i.e. DLLs)?
You can compile pretty much any .cs source with just the .NET framework,
not even the SDK is needed, and as far as I know, you don't need any
products apart from the .NET framework and Windows to produce
redistributable binaries.
The EULA for .NET appears to classify it as a supplement to the OS: i.e.
if you have a license for Windows that it's running on, you've got a
license to .NET. It seems to me that anything you create with a licensed
OS is yours to do with what you see fit, where not explicitly prohibited
in any EULAs you've agreed to.
If in doubt, talk to a lawyer, etc. etc.
