Unfortunately SharpDevelop has been discontinued. It is still a viable alternative for VS for versions until 2016, but it doesn't support C# 7.0 as VS 2017 does. See details: http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/WhatsNew.aspx

Comments and Reviews
It's good lightweight IDE, but looks like abandoned. Official site contains last release and forum messages dated with 2016.
A rather Spartan IDE that does GUI designing and multiple CLR languages. I miss word completion, indentation guides, and relevant output (it flashed a prompt instead of using its Output tab and expects me to use a website to copy error messages to).
Eric 5 is more mature and does cross-platform GUIs using Qt.
