You can use a certificate generated by Visual Studio or generate one yourself with no problem. The difference between this and purchasing a certificate is that when the user goes to install the application, if you have purchased a certificate it will say "published by: yourcompanyanme" instead of "Uknown Publisher".

If you want to make your own certificate, you can use MakeCert.exe to do this. This article discusses the expiring-certificate problem, and has examples of using makecert to make a long-term certificate manually.
