Summary: Great for everyday Windows programming
Comment: We use this suite to build front-end Windows applications for exotic equity pricing models and we bought it because 1) we didn't need all the fancy, advanced libraries the more expensive packages include and 2) this is cheap. The package is easy to install and the environment easy to navigate. We are very happy with it and will buy the upgraded version to keep up with the latest .NET feature.

Summary: Great Windows programming tool, possibly the best
Comment: For an amateur programmer like myself, C# provides an easy-to-use fun way to write professional-looking Windows applications with very little overhead. If you know Java and had played with Visual C++, C# will come naturally to you. It is completely object-oriented, there are no pointers (even though you may use them if you really need to), a very easy-to-understand object model, a powerful forms editor, and a sophisticated debugger. C++-like templates allow you to design and write any type of programs without worrying too much about necessary components. An extensive class library provides tools for anything you may think of. MSDN library included in the package provides great real-time help with a number of examples. Overall, C# is easier than Java, as powerful as C++, and is accessible to people who are not professional programmers. Great product!

Summary: careful
Comment: There is a typo in the feature list on this page...It mentions that this product supports development of Compact.NET applications for mobile phones and pocketpc's however this is incorrect. The standard edition does not support pocketpc development, only the professional edition that comes in visual studio supports it. I bought the product partially because i thought i could make programs for my ppc. :/ Other than lack of PPC support in this standard edition, visual C# standard seems like a decent program for web development or quickly making windows apps.
