how do i get started with c#?

I want to start programing in C#. I have downloaded and
installed the .net 1.1 redist runtime and the 1.1 sdk. I
also made a helloworld.cs file. What do I do next? I
cannot find the c# compiler. Do I have to buy something
to get started? are their "free" compilers out their that
I can get started with?

seach for csc.exe that's the compiler. However, since C# is case sensitive,
shell out the money for the C# ide or use SharpDevelop
http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/ which is free. You can't be very
productive without a good IDE. But technically speaking, if you have the
SDK and the framework installed, you can compile from CSC.exe

While I wouldn't start writing a fully-fledged app without an IDE, I do
quite a lot of my C# programming without one - for almost all the posts
which involve code (either me writing some test code, or running test
code written by someone else) I just use a simple text editor. Being
case sensitive doesn't bother me - the main benefits of an IDE from my
point of view are Intellisense, debugging, and a simple way to manage
multiple files.
