  Do you need to get a whole IDE just for a compiler that supports a given runtime feature?
  • koenigdavidmj 17y ago
    Probably doesn't support fancy stuff like that just yet, but I've found SharpDevelop ( http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/ http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/ ) quite nice.

    Good question. Are you asking if you can target .NET 4.0 with VS 2008? I don't know, my experience has been that it's like swimming upstream to try to separate the IDE, .NET Framework version, and language version -- best to just get them all.

      Are you asking if you can target .NET 4.0 with VS 2008? Highly unlikely. However, VS2010 will give you a choice of Runtime versions from 4 downwards. VS2008 will give you a choice of Runtime versions from 3.5 downwards.

    C# is compiled using msbuild which is distributed with the .NET framework. So you don't need any VS at all to compile .csproj

    Nope. MSBUILD and all the new compilers ship with the Windows 7.1 SDK: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowssdk/archive/2010/04/07/coming-soon-win-sdk-for-windows-7-and-net-4.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/windowssdk/archive/2010/04/07/coming-s...
