well i think i might be able to use visual studio but the end programs will have to be in notepad. The other programmers use notepad so it will probably be annoying for me to transfer programs into visual studio and then back to notepad

Even you use VS, all source code files can be edited using notepad! No "transfer" is needed except you need to build some sort of "make" file (I guess) to get your program compiled.

One last word, if you choose to use VS Express Editions, be sure to check whether its license allows you to use in commercial projects or not.

They do. There are no restrictions placed on projects created with the Express editions.

they just don't want to pay!

>>i have just been offered a new job

If they don't want to pay for your basic tool, I doubt they will pay for 3rd parties. That doesn't sound great to me!

That’s going to be a dreadful job considering C# is case sensitive. stll you are in luck since SharpDevelop is as close to VS.Net as they come and its Free!

Good luck

i got told i would be building application prototypes using HTML and C#, and over time progressing to a
more advanced .Net role. How does that sound?
