I guess I'll ask in here--J#

[RiverGuy]

Has anyone used it? I hear its very similar to C#. And as I only have VB.Net, J#.Net is free to download, wherease C# is not. If anyone has used it, please tell me if it's worth my while to download.

Thanksl.

C# is free. Just download the .NET Framework SDK.
Microsoft has given C# to the Standardization Organizations. Therefore soon you will find many other IDE created for C#. I already heard words on Bordland C#.
The only .NET language that isn't free is VB.NET where Microsoft is the owner.

Ohhh. Now, the MS IDE for C# is not free, or is it?

The IDE is most definitely not free. But the C# compiler *is* free. You just have to use the programmer's friend: Notepad. I don't think you get a Make utility, either, so you'll have to write .cmd files to automate your compiles.

OK, that's what I was thinking. I was asking about J#, because the IDE is free, goes in wiht the other .Net VS products. That's why I wanted to give it a try, knowing that C# isn't free for the MS IDE.
