You can download the official csc.exe here in the Microsoft .NET SDK:

p?url=/msdn-files/027/000/976/msdncompositedoc.xml
You can download the "open-source" version of Microsoft .NET platform
here. It includes the compiler and the runtime:

I've written a lot code in my life (see my webpage) -- I am not just
falling for marketing crap. C# and the .NET platform are really good
and possibly better than Sun's Java.

Feel free to check out some of my current C# projects. There is amazing
code reuse between the various projects and between C++ and C#:
[1] 3D Engine using OpenGL
http://www.exocortex.org/3dengine
[2] Complex number and FFT library
http://www.exocortex.org/dsp
[3] Iterative 3D immunocytochemistry deconvolution
http://www.exocortex.org/neurosci
[4] Various Towers of Hanoi solvers
http://www.exocortex.org/toh
[5] Traveling Salesman Genetic Algorithm
http://www.exocortex.org/tspga-source.zip
Some MIT grad recently modified by FFT library to work with Intel's
optimized libraries. In some recent contract work I have been
integrating with legacy ActiveX objects in a very seamless fashion. You
may hate Microsoft but that won't change the fact that their new
technology is pretty decent.
Cheers...
