css - c#.net What software to use to develop windows desktop applications

Question

I want to develop some windows desktop applications without Visual Studio. This guy has 2G, and I only need .NET, vc, vb, and vf. You don’t have to use a knives to kill a chicken~ So is there a software that can be used from scratch? Separated from Visual Studio, the same as vcvb

Answer 1

Visual Studio 2017 can choose to install some components (for example, you only need C# and UWP development). You can download it now.

Answer 2

Have you ever heard of VScode?

Answer 3

In fact, to develop C# desktop programs, you can only use Visual Studio; VS is a bit too big, but if you use other IDEs, believe me, you will die.
The latest version is Visual Studio 2017RC, and the stable version is Visual Studio 2015 official version. Just check the parts you need.
