Do I need to install the Windows 7 SDK, to create programs with Visual C#?

No, you don't have to.

+1  A: 

No, you only need the SDK if you want the reference dlls without installing VS 2010. For example, you might want to install it on a build server.

Well, or if you want anything from the SDK specifically, like the code samples.

A: 

No, but it does contain useful tools like FxCop, which I find quite useful just for catching silly mistakes that don't break your program, but maybe slow it down or make it more difficult to maintain.
