Express versions are free, but the professional and standard editions aren't.

But I use Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition. It's just what I started with and got accustomed to. I'm using Visual Studio 6.0 right now though, trying to get used to it (some people told me it's better for some of the things I need it for).

But Visual Studio is good, lets me do my VB.NET and C++ both.

Express version = ultrabloated .NET crap.

BTW, if you want to write C#, J#, or VB.NET, all you need is the .NET framework. The compilers and accessories are included.

Free nevertheless and I doubt a beginner looking for any IDE minds bloatedness, although I must admit the (often useless) feature jungle can be good at hiding what you're looking for, especially if you don't yet know what exactly it is you need.

Many times you don't even need an IDE, and with .NET, not even a separate compiler:

Sniff... but I :wub: IDE's... :cry:

Get Eclipse with CDT

i use notepad sometimes to write a code in C/C++ and saving it as ".C" or ".CPP" and its running 1000% when i execute it using Visual Studio or other compilers

omg the borland products are the best. Try it and love it dude. :)
