hi,
I'm an 18 y/o student, and never used c# before, (i do have experince in
java and vb-6). I heard about the great features of c#, the problem is i
could never afford Visual Studio.

1) Is it possible to just download the ".NET Framework 2.0 Software
Development Kit (SDK)" and use a regular Editor (notepad).

2) Is it possible to use the new 2.0 version with the the "old" .NET
Visualstudio(This i can get free at my university)

Thanks,
Jeroen

Absolutely. You don't even need the SDK, strictly speaking - the
framework itself has the C# compiler in it. However, the SDK has a lot
of documentation to make things easier.

No, I'm afraid not. However, you can download C# 2005 Express for free,
I believe.

If your department is a member of the Microsoft Developer Network Academic
Alliance (MSDNAA), you should soon be able to get Visual Studio 2005,
Professional Edition at no cost. I mention this because you said you can get
the "old" version free.
