If we're not talking IDEs (just editors) then my favorite editor can be
found here: www.vim.org (opensource, free, donate to uganda children if you
feel like it). Can syntax color C#, but no code completion. VI syntax is
very cryptic for noob's!

And here's a good list of editors (generic, not necessarily for C#).

Lots of other good tools are listed there as well.

TextPad - it's not totally free, but an excellent all-around editor
(for C#, SQL, Delphi, INI files, whatever you might be editing):

I used to use TextPad with Java and found it to be quite good. Not too sure
with c# though.. Crimson Editor seems a little better.

Thanks to everyone for you answers.

After trying SharpDevelop and Borland C# Builder, I've choosen C# builder.

This software is incerdible! The form designer is efficient, powerful and
complete. The IDE also support integrated debugging, breakpoints and so
on...

Especially usefull for peoples who already knows Borland shortcuts keys.

There are many many things implemented in this IDE that are only found in
professional developping tools.
