is there another product - other than Visual Studio .net

[Sean Sankey]

I'm sure Visual Studio.net is a great product, but is there another product
that's cheaper? I found Web Matrix for asp.net which is a free download and
it works great. It would be nice if there is something like that available
for VB.net without all the ASP stuff. I just want to use it to learn
VB.net/ADO.net.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
