VS2005 is worth the money but if your employer would stump up the cache, try
SharpDevelop 2. And open source free IDE for .NET 2
www.icsharpcode.net

Oh, and try getting a new job too.

Check if VS 2005 Express conform to your needs. You can use it free

Thanks for the replies .....

That get's me in the right direction.

Hi,

Three options:

1 - Download VS2005 express, it's free but it's missing some components
2- Use the SDK directly and compile your code from the command line
3- send the source code to the office and copy the code in your project, you
will not be able to use the new 2.0 features though
