Visual C# Express is pretty cool

[Mancora]

Just wanted to spread the word a bit, this is a free c# IDE MS is putting out, its in its beta2 stage now. Im fairly sure it will stay free as they are targeting "hobbyists, students, and novices"

So far i've spent 30-45 mins on it and it looks pretty good to me. Im pysced now because in that time i created a form with a web browser and navigation tools(following their tut of course), and in fact im typing this message in there right now.



Visual C# Express Edition Beta http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/vcsharp/default.aspx

This is part of the Visual Studio 2005 family release due later this year. All the pieces are either in Beta 2 or have CTP releases out now.

I have to say everything I've seen of these 2005 products shows a lot of improvement over 2003. Whether you're new of VS or are using 2003 or v.6, check out the 2005 betas -- certainly worth the download time.
