If you want a REAL IDE, use
Dev-C++ (REAL free IDE that is). I don't think they'll do that, it'd take away to much time just to get it basically working.

Actually I am going to use a free C compiler that I got from my book to program the Pic microprocessor. To be honest I know that .NET is a compiler but I thought microprocessors need specially designed compilers. I am pretty new to this though. Can anyone clarify this?

Actually, to be on the techy side, .NET is an IDE, not a compiler. I forgot what the compiler is called (IDE just makes it easier to code, compile and such).
