You should get visual c# express, as its really awesome--
and probably the best way to get started.
But if its too big of a download theres nothing stopping you from downloading the .NET framework( 20 something meg I believe ) and using the compiler directly( look for csc.exe )..
*Or* you could download mono and use its c# compiler and runtime. Throw in sharpdevelop and you've got a decent alternative to downloading visual studio.
