Hi people, i was wondering if you would give me your thoughts on this Open Source IDE for C and VB.Net, its called Sharpdevelop (Or #Develop)
It can be found at http://icsharpcode.com/OpenSource/SD/Default.aspx
So far i have managed to learn something new from it, i was wondering how it compares to the VS versions ?

I've been using #Develop from it's earliest stages when it was quite flaky, these days it is stable enough and great for learning C#. Despite the fact that it supports VB the main drive is towards C#. Having said that I've never used it for big projects so I can't give you any idea on how well it handles them. #Develop was written with #Develop so it must be pretty good. Some people here are dead set against #Develop perhaps using earlier versions turned them off, but I've found it great for learning .Net
considering it hasn't had $$$$ poured into its development like VS has, it is quite good. if only MonoDevelop had the same features as #Develop.
I didnt see anything on it comparing to 2005. I assume that it runs based upon the .net framework?
This seem relevant...
#Develop runs on top of the .NET framework (and possibly Mono, but could be wrong). #Develop includes a useful C#<->VB.NET code converter.
Thanks tr333 thats what I thought but what about 2005 and framework 2.0? I doubt its supported. Any plans for it to run on 2.0?
Hiall,
Just downloaded this and its the bomb!!!
its ace!!!!!
How powerful is it though.??
obviously not looking for Visual Studio power for business apps, but it s surely a good un for little home apps or the homedeveloper who doesnt want to spend $$$$ on an IDE he might not get his monies worth.
opinions please.
kai :wave:
