Hi, is there anyone here who uses an ide other than Visual Studio?

I use VS2005 (and just recently started using 2008) at work, but wondered
if there were other (cheaper) alternatives.

I think Visual Studio is a great tool, but as this (for me) is provided by
my employer I can't technically use it at home for private "fun" purposes.

What about Turbo c#?

Thanks,
Peter
 
If you like Visual Studio, you can freely download and use Visual Studio

Chers,

VS Express Edition
Turbo C#
SharpDevelop

are all free.

Personally I prefer SharpDevelop.

I haven't read the most recent license but the license that covered
VS2003 specifically allowed for home use by a developer who was
licensed through their employer.

It may have changed now that the Express editions are available and
free, but in any case it's worth looking into.

HTH,

Sam
