.NET Framework 1.1 (Redistributable?)

Hi all. I plan on testing out C# soon, and I'd like to first try it
without the full retail version, so that means I need to download the
SDK, etc. to compile the code.

Anyway, I'm a little confused about what I do and don't have at this
point. Recently I download Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 (plus Service
Pack 1 and a hotfix to the SP1) from Windows Update. Is this the same
thing as the redistributable Framework? Is it the same as the SDK? If I
have only what I downloaded from Windows Update, what more do I need to
download in order to use C# without C# .NET Standard, or VS .NET?

Thanks.

Hi,

What you downloaded is the redist and not the SDK. You just need the SDK!

Actually, in order to compile code, you don't need the SDK. The C# and
VB.NET compilers are included in the redistributable.

But I keep hearing that I need both the redistributable and the SDK, in
order to use C# without having the full retail versions of .NET. Is this
not correct?

1) There's no such thing as "the full retail version of .NET". There
are retail versions of Visual Studio .NET, but that's a different
matter.

2) You don't need to have the SDK in order to compile code, but it
provides documentation you'd almost certainly find useful.
