SharpDevelop (#develop) is a free, open-source integrated development environment for .NET languages such as C#, VB.NET, F#, Boo, IronPython, and IronRuby. It is written almost entirely in C# and runs on Windows, offering typical IDE features like code editing, debugging, and NuGet integration.

Use cases

  • free ide for c# development on windows
  • edit and build vb.net projects without visual studio
  • lightweight .net ide alternative
  • develop f# or ironpython projects in an ide
  • offline ide with nuget and nunit integration

When to avoid

  • you need support for modern .NET versions (.NET 5+/.NET Core)
  • you want an actively maintained IDE with current tooling
  • you develop on Linux or macOS
