Hey I was wondering if the free versions of the .NET languages are compatible with the Irrlicht

They are all free, what could you possibly be talking about?

I think he means free as in free software, and sadly the answer is no

you can try http://irrlichtnetcp.sf.net for a cross-platform wrapper

Here is where a free vb.net/c#.net compiler is: http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/

I have used it to do some c# games.

No, you guys mistnerpeted what I said, Are the express versions of the .NET language compatible with the Irrlicht? These are the free versions of VB.NET, VC.NET, VJ.NET and C#.NET

Yup it is compatible with Irrlicht. There's actually no difference or any compatibility issues to talk about when using the Free express version of Visual Studio compared to using the paying professional versions. You can use any IDE if you want, including SharpDevelop or even Notepad, so long as you write .NET code you can use Irrlicht using .NET.
