I just installed Mono onto my system. I want to play around with C# for a little bit. I know that there are Linux C# IDEs but the ones I found weren't free. For you C# programmers using Linux as your main OS. Can you direct me to a site where I might but able to obtain such a thing.

I found this a while back:

http://www.monodevelop.com/Download

Never had the chance to use it, though.

Mono-Develop would probably be your best bet.

Yeah, I download from the link Mad_Guy gave me (thanks Mad Guy) and found out Mono Develop was already installed onto my system when I installed Mono. I just can't seem to get it to execute, I can click on it but nothing will show up and I check on the "System Monitor" to see if anything was running but nothing was. The access to mono develop is all checked and any user is able to execute it. I hate when things that are so simple happen like this.

Try executing it in a console window and checking what output is printed.

Did you check the checksum (OR MD5) [I dont particularly remember, what is supposed to be checked] before installing mono?

If the test fails, probably, your program would compile, but wouldn't run or would generate some error!

If you find some manuals of Mono, in the directory, where it is installed, you can read how to compile using command line and run using Wine!

KWrite (if you are using KDE) or Gedit can be used as simple editors, which might probably have syntax highlighting for C#

What distro do you use? Unless it's Slackware or something stupid, it probably has a package manager which will help you install everything properly.

My distro(s) is/are Ubuntu and Xubuntu.

I tried what Averos said and it worked. It run kinda slow though, go figure huh? I downloaded a .rpm and used Alien to convert it into a .deb b/c Ubuntu is Debian based distro.

I use SciTe for developing my Java programs on Linux, which is also a C++, C, and C# editor. My own point of playing with C# is the rapid GUI development.

Thanks everyone for your help

MonoDevelop the last time I used it just wasn't there yet...even the CVS HEAD. SharpDevelop has passed it up quite a bit since the fork.

It's really too bad C# doesn't have a really good multiplatform IDE yet. Like NetBeans for Java.

It's really too bad C# isn't really multiplatform. .NET 2.0 is nowhere to be seen in Linux.
