Notepad or something similar. I''m not being an ass. I personally use VS.NET 2003 and Whidbey and I''ve used SharpDevelop a bit. I''m sure you really do want a nice IDE for a good reason, but I''m just trying to make a point...
It''s a great idea for someone new to .NET or moving from another language to a .NET language to do as much as you can manually. Using the freely available .NET tools from the SDK (or Mono), compilers, debugger, etc. You''ll gain a very firm grasp of everything that''s going on. While I love Intellisense and code completion and various other nifty things, I''m much better off as I started not relying on those things. I manually explored the framework, I knew what Visual Studio was up to when I clicked Build, etc. Once you have the framework SDK, you have everything you *need* to do .NET development.
For rapid development, convenience, and enjoyment Visual Studio and the like are great, but don''t let them be a crutch.
What is the best FREE C# IDE
You could try Borland C# Builder.
Personally I hate the sonuvabitch, but it''s slightly better than SharpDevelop i think.
Still, get VS.NET if at all possible.

Just whore yourself out for a few days and buy VS.Net pro. seriously, the thing is godlike.
(I''ve been break-point debugging HLSL pixel shaders in it recently, which is a kick in the pants).

I''d recommend Borland C# Builder over #develop. In my experience with #develop it''s annoying to stuff to just disappear from the form designer as if it never existed and it doesn''t seem multi-user friendly. I have had to go through the code completiom database initialization several times even though I should be abel to just point to the Code Completion database I have already completed. It seem to need a lot of work when compared to BC# Builder.
