Re: SharpDevelop

Sharpdevelop is nice, but why not use Visual C# Express Edition which is 
almost the functional equivalent of its big brother ?

No reasons not to use it if it meets your needs.  The compiled objects are 
still .Net binaries. 

With the .Net Framework, theoretically you can also command line compile 
C# without an IDE as well :-)

Heyo
 
Seemed better to put this in this list than in the RPG list.
 
I was doing some RPG XML web service integration to C#.NET this week and
ended up having to pony up a little on C#.NET so I could test things on my
own before handing them off to C#.NET developers.  Because I was on the 
road
and didn't have access to Visual Studio I went ahead and downloaded the 
free
SharpDevelop IDE (http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/) and was 
curious
to know if others have used this to learn the ".NET Way" and test the
integration of .NET with their iSeries.  Seems like a cheap alternative to
Visual Studio and so far I am very impressed with how similar it is to
Visual Studio (which I have on a different computer).
 
Any opinions that might steer me away from it?
 
Thanks,
Aaron Bartell
