Jump to Postyep, Visual Studio (either full or express, depending on what you need and budget)
Other than that there is sharpdevelop, but I dont like it.
Jump to PostVS Professional (no "full" release) is quite functionally rich, there are other editions too: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/teamsystem/default.mspx#compare_products. SharpDevelop is the descendant to MonoDevelop - an interesting project, free (GPL-ed - not quite sure). Also check here: http://csharp-source.net/open-source/ides

Actually, not trying to start a flame war here, but the Visual Studio is great as an IDE, whether you're working in VB or C#. The only complaint I have is that it's a bit slow to launch when you're running a 32-bit OS...

Okay, alc6379. Ill take that into consideration to:-) is it faster on 64 bit?

It seems pretty slow on both. Then again VS has always been slow, its just a large and complex app (even vc6 was slow back in the day). 2005 seems to be much slower than 2003, and 2008 seems to be even worse.
