The .NET Framework SDK is free (with compiler, debugger, etc.). Your choice
of free IDEs includes SharpDevelop
(http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/) or Eclipse (see
http://www.go-mono.org/tutorial/html/en/installation/chooseide.html).
Microsoft C# ("Visual Studio") costs a bit more than 100 Euro.

Since you were asking about COM I assume you are running Windows. Otherwise
there is also the free mono:: environment (http://www.go-mono.org/) plus a
few others on the horizon.

That should be easy for someone with a C++ or Java background.
