Thanks. That appears to do what I need. Is there any kind of eclipse
plug in?
There *is* an Eclipse plugin, but the last time I looked it was awful.
You'll have a much better experience with the Express edition of VS.

Thanks. I noticed that the Eclipse plug-in doesn't have a listed
update since 2004. I have installed C# express and will play with
this.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

Which is one of the great bugbears of OpenSource.

People create a great project until reality kicks in and they go out and get a real job.

There are hundreds of plugins for eclipse, but unfortunately, many of them are tied to a particular version. Try juggling them all around to get something that is compatible (look at Spring, Hibernate, JBoss, Matisse et al) and you will see what I mean. No one appears to be responsible for the overall system.

There have been improvements in the IDEs for linux and java, but there is absolutely nothing out there that comes close to VS.
