I know about the express but i need the full version as the express limits me... And i need it to use with Microsoft Silverlight

You won't get a link to download a pirate copy (which is your only option for the full version) here but afaik you can create silverlight apps using the express edition?

Edit - yep you can use Visual Web Developer Express with SP1 http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/

How about downloading a legit trial from Microsoft and entering your product key you get from Dreakspark when you get set up.

If you're a student you can't need it that badly :P

You should be able to get a student license for the full version but it seems that the express edition is good enough.

Anyway, you can searhc for MS Authorised Educational Resellers here: https://aer.microsoft.com/aer/searchaer.aspx

check if your college is part of the msdn academic alliance. Should get it free with that, if you are part of a programming heavy course they would be signed up to this usually.
