        Selling a product means that you need to create a contract between you and your customer(s) in this case can be a license. What I've seen in many companies, they give for free their product and charge for customization services, training, and support (not bug reporting). So it doesn't matter if your application was created in SharpDevelop, Visual Studio, PHP or whatever, if you want to make money since the moment they download your product, then create a trial version lets say for 14 days or limited access to the product, and after that, for a full license you charge whatever you think is fair for your work. Just remember, that out there many other companies have the same product as you

          oh, the best way will be to use internet, get a website, upload your product and buy some ads from Google, Bing, Yahoo, that will help to get some traffic to your site, and also, the old fashioned way if, go knocking doors until someone gets interested in your product

            Thanks you verry much for answer! I have one more question: supose i'll give for free my product and charge for other services (like training), but it's legal to sell a product made with a free IDE (like SharpDevelop) in C# language? is there a tax for using C# or is free ? Thanks you!

            If (i meet you in this life)
            {
            i'll drink with you a few beers;
            }
            else
            {
            Console.WriteLine("Thanks you verry much!");
            }

              The .NET framework is a free download.
