Tbh, i'd prefer to get a version of Visual Studio, but this one can help alot if you can't affor Visual Studio. The best thing about SharpDevelop, is that it's pretty similar to Visual Studio. Atleast i were able to build and run 3 simple C# application, following the instructions in C# for Dummies
You'll also need either the Microsoft.NET SDK 1.1 or the Runtime installed on the machine. The SDK is a 100 mb download, but the runtime is only 23 mb.
You'll get the links for the SDK and the Runtime on the download page for SharpDevelop:
