I am looking into this C# IDE Now.
I will write somethings about it late.
Please keep eyes on my blog.

I develop C# program using open source. I use SharpDevelop and mySQL. Then I can do my development in low budget. Using visual studio cost too much for me.

I just watched the video about LINQ from microsoft. It seems to be more easy to do the C# database programming. It does O-R mapping. That 's similar with NHibernate. I will try during this week.

Thread is very simple. Only need to put the method name and use "Start" method.
Thread thread= new Thread(new ThreadStart(class1.Test2));

thread.Start();
