Alternative to Visual Studio.Net IDE

Below are few alternatives to the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) - Visual Studio for .Net Development

Pao (short for "program as objects") is firstly an idea that a computer program is reprensented totally as objects, as opposed to textual code in the traditional way. This objectization covers all the aspacts of a program, including the internal respresentation, persistance on storage, user interface, editing, debugging, documentation, etc. Pao is a general-purpose programming environment. Currently, it supports microsoft .NET windows application development. Its language(Pao#) covers most sementics of C# (up to v3.5)

MonoDevelop is a cross-platform IDE primarily designed for C# and other .NET languages. MonoDevelop enables developers to quickly write desktop and ASP.NET Web applications on Linux, Windows and Mac OSX. MonoDevelop makes it easy for developers to port .NET applications created with Visual Studio to Linux and Mac OSX maintaining a single code base for all platforms.

CodeRun Studio is a cross-platform Integrated Development Environment (IDE), designed for the cloud. It enables you to easily develop, debug and deploy web applications using your browser. CodeRun Studio can be used instead or alongside your existing desktop IDE. You can upload existing code in order to test it in the cloud or for sharing with your peers.

#develop (short for SharpDevelop) is a free IDE for C#, VB.NET and Boo projects on Microsoft's .NET platform. It is open-source, and you can download both sourcecode and executables from this site. 

Zeus is a fast and lean, fully scriptable, keyboard centric editor packed full of programmer specific features making it one of the best programmer's editor available.

Will try to add few more over coming weeks.

  1. I've been using a great product ASP.NET web IDE called FOO BASIC WEB STUDIO. Lets you create web sites and apps in .NET 10X faster than Visual Studio.

    It writes the Jquery, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS for you. What I like the most is its automatic AJAX every page without you having to write any AJAX code, and it lets you create an entire web site or app only using a single coding language or your choice (either Visual Basic or VB.NET or ASP.NET), no other coding language needed.

    The have a 120 day free version at their website www.foobasic.com
    They also have a YouTube video.
