I find Visual Studio to be the best when working with .NET or windows programming in general. Even the Express version is decent. But running that on Wine, c'mon. Wine can't run a game of tetris without erring, you can't possibly expect Visual studio to run flawlessly. If you insist on not using Boot Camp, I would go with Game_Ender's suggestion and use VirtualBox to set up a windows VM with VS.
