the compiler is part of the .net sdk so they should be the same for
sharpdevelop and visual c#.
The IDE itself its different obviously. I personally use sharpdevelop cuase
it fullfills everything I need. Doesnt have anything fancy other than
intellisense. It handles namespaces fine, different directories, external
assemblies, etc.
Visual C# takes it a bit further, helps you with codebehinds on ASP.NET, has
stuff to easily accesss the DB using ADO.NET, etc, etc.
I would suggest you try sharpdevelop, if you can do everything you wanna do
with it then dont bother with visual c#.

Is the free compiler SharpDevelop a real alternative to Visual C#? Or
are there a lot of things that make Visual C# superior?
thanks for help.
