    Hi,


    1. You dont need IDE to compose and run c#.  (look at James comment..!!).  


    You just require :


    a. Windows 2000
    b. IIS 5.0 + Frontpage 2000 extensions
    c. IE 5.5 +
    d. MDAC 2.7 beta 2 (check out the link : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=30134).


    e. Try downloading .NET SDK from http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/sample.asp?url=/msdn-files/027/000/976/msdncompositedoc.xml&frame=true (mind you.. all the 13 splits, its around 127 MB !!) and run setup.bat


    (or) go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/default.asp
    On the Left hand panel, click on "Software Development Kits", Visual Studio Beta 2 SDK.


    f. If you install in a folder named "dotnet", then switch to the \Program Files\dotnet\Samples\Deployment\1_HelloWorld directory.


    Open command prompt and type : csc Hello.cs.
    Once you got the prompt without any errors, type Hello


    Thats all man...


    2. IF YOU WANT FULL FLEDGED IDE, then you need to checkout with microsoft.


    Cheers,
