Question

I own a software development business in Romania. I want to develop a c# project. Is the sdk free?

Also for the SQL ?

Answer 1

The .NET framework is available free.

I believe the SDKs are part of their development purchases.

SQL Server (the full fledged version) is not free, and neither is the SDK.

But the "Express edition" of SQL server is free.

Answer 2

The SDK is really just bundled as part of the .NET Framework redistributable. What you really want is the IDE (that is, Visual Studio). Microsoft offers free versions of the Visual Studio IDEs (title Visual Studio Express) for C#, VB.NET and web developers.

There is also a free version of SQL Server called SQL Express, although this is really meant more for development and very small projects.

Answer 3

You can download free editions(Express) from here

http://www.microsoft.com/express/product...

It has almost covers all the features of Standard edition..
