Visual Studio Express

If you are looking for a way to compile your code and projects, you can use a free version of Visual Studio. As far as I know, the express editions are free to use. You just have to download the installer and then install the program as you would normally do. Upon start up, it may ask you to enter a registration key. There should be some text you can click on to get the registration key right away. From there, you just have fill out some short information boxes and you will get the key. The key will show up on the next page when you submit the information. You can now use this key to register your Visual Studio successfully.
