A:
The C# compiler from Microsoft is not open source, although it is freely available through Visual Studio Express or the .NET Framework SDK. However there are freely available, open source, C# compilers out there. Check out Mono

I meant that the Microsoft's official C# compiler is not open source :)

SSCLI, otherwise known as Rotor, is a shared source version of the CLI + build tools from Microsoft. Also Blue (as answered by SnapConfig.com) is also a C# compiler written in C#
