C# Developing

Sorry to follow up my own post, but I got this from the MS
VS Express
site:

"4. Can I use Express Editions for commercial use? 
 Yes, there are no licensing restrictions for applications
built using
the Express Editions."

So your fears about licensing restrictions on the free tools
look to be
unfounded.

MS does a free version of VS.  Check out their site:

http://msd
n.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/

Visual Studio Standard Edition is $299.00.  The Professional
Edition is
$799.  So we're not actually into the "Thousands of
dollars" territory
you mention:

http://ms
dn.microsoft.com/vstudio/howtobuy/

Also the Framework/Mono itself gives you everything you need
to develop
.NET applications - if you're prepared to use a text editor
and either
compile at the command line or use make/nant.

Finally, for Windows Forms development, there is
SharpDevelop (on
Windows), or MonoDevelop (on Linux):

evelop.com/Main_Page

"Interesting" is not a word I would use in
connection with any
dissertation, least of all mine

Interesting, as your dissertation is, I don't have the
thousands of
dollars required to get a copy of VS.  I was wondering if
they had an
SDK available that is free to download.

Well,  that's just the marketing.  What REALLY counts in
the EUL, and
they don't let you see that until you're installing it. 
For example,
previous versions of VS that came in books had an EUL that
restricted
you from distributing the code (ever).  History has taught
me, that
microsoft doesn't just give things away.  I found out I had
already
downloaded the .NET developers kit (2.0 I think), and I
installed.  I
will attempt to use that first--even though it is only a
comand line
tool.  Thank you for your assistance.
