Yeah, Neil is 100% right.
 
FWIW, I'm using Scite as my editor, and lescript as my build tool.
 
Scite: http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html
lescript: http://manageddreams.com/utils/lescriptmar9.zip
 
Lescript lets you use C# as though it is a scripting language, ie you can do:
 
C:\> lescript --nologo helloworld.cs
 
Hello World!
 
C:\>
 
You need to have .Net Framework 1.1 runtime installed to use lescript ( http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3&DisplayLang=en  )

That it costs anything is a common misconception:
 
The Microsoft C# compiler comes for free with Windows.
You can download the Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions for free for a year.
You can download other integrated development enviroments for free (such as SharpDevelop)
You can build C# in Mono for free, which also runs on Linux which is a free OS.
All the MSDN documentation is available for free online.
 
So altogether, it is highly possible to spend no money and build C# apps.
