So far all the sites I have made have been in PHP, I’m thinking about learning C# but before I do I need to know if one needs to buy licensing if deploying a site or app written in C#. I assume since it was developed by Microsoft that
there might be some propitiatory about it. PHP being open course I never had to worry about this.

So does one need a license, if so where are the rates?

    Description

    No, you don’t need a license for c#. Maybe you need one for the IDE you want to use.
    But there are some free and opensource IDE’s out where.

    You can use MonoDevelop, Webmatrix, Visual Studio Express but i suggest SharpDevelop, its open source.

    sharpDevelop (short for SharpDevelop) is a free IDE for C#, VB.NET and Boo projects on Microsoft’s .NET platform. It is open-source, and you can download both sourcecode and executables from this site. In addition, you can find the latest information and changes on #develop, as well as get in touch with the team in the forum.

    Update

    In case of Webapplications, you need a Windows license too use IIS (Internet Information Server, Microsofts Webserver). It is also possible to run .NET on Linux, check out the Mono Project if you are interested in.
