Are there any decent freeware/legitimate C#.NET IDE's that I can d/l? I searced through the forum and only found the limited time free VB.NET Standard Thread and the Terminal Service 3 Hour Try.

I want something to learn the basics on and try it out without a time limit, and I hate notepad.

Also, I have been told that the actual command line compiler for C#.NET can be obtained legitimately for free by downloading the .NET Frameworks SDK, is this true?

Thank you in advance for your replies.

Yes, the .NET Framework SDK contains command-line compilers and a simple Windows Forms designer for C#, VB.NET, JScript.NET, and J#.

I was going to point you to SharpDevelop, but K already did.  ;)
