Intellisense and the rest of Visual Studio work perfectly with C#, which is very much C style.

Intellisense.

Not a huge fan of C# but that part is awesome.

Have you ever managed to get intellisense working for c#? I try every few months with junk like Roslyn but it never seems to work. It just silently fails to do anything at all.

C# also have great IDE support in VisualStudio especially with the ReSharper extension. Which is also developed by JetBrains.

The reason that I ask is that I feel I am getting stuck with C# simply due to the comfort of Intellisense. I have to find some way of replicating that experience with other languages...

I know other languages of course, but it just feels like a hassle to code without Intellisense these days :p

Works perfectly in C# with practically all Visual Studios (and I think other .Net languages as well)

Visual Studio does at least some of those for C#.

Nothing that Visual Studio and C# doesn't do.

Agreed. I basically live in emacs, but for C#, I'm in VS 2017 community and it works great.

I do a little C# here and there and setting up emacs for productivity in C# was easy: Install omnisharp, csharp-mode, and company. I also happen to like rainbow-delimiters.

But with just those first 3 packages I get "intellisense" in emacs via company-mode. It's awesome.

Awesome. I even use Visual Studio and C# but didn't know about this!

koyote | karma 2056 | avg karma 3.3 · | 2017-01-06 17:02:47+00:00

Visual Studio with Resharper.

Anything else just does not come close for C#.

> C# is great with Visual Studio, but costly to use.

The Windows/.NET SDK is free.

Additionally, you can make use of SharpDevelop, Xamarin IDE or Visual Studio Express editions.

Is this open source? I’d love to play with it and see what it would take to support C# in Visual Studio.

I recently read, in another thread whic I can not find, that Visual Studio does this for at least C#.

tpush | karma 4444 | avg karma 4.89 · | 2018-03-13 11:15:27+00:00

Visual Studio Code + the cquery extension is heaven for me coding in C/C++.

jimmaswell | karma 5739 | avg karma 1.55 · | 2014-10-23 18:10:04+00:00

ASP.NET maybe? C# is one of the best-designed languages suitable to server-side dev in modern popular use. Using it with VS is the most convenient and efficient IDE experience I've encountered.

I'm curious, as a long time emacs lover now doing C# work in a day job... is there a good way to do C# in emacs? I'm quite happy with VS2015+ReSharper, but I do sometimes long for emacs.

lobster_johnson | karma 10160 | avg karma 2.95 · | 2016-08-17 16:28:23+00:00

C# in VSCode is really good, and works on Linux. Have you tried it?

msmm | karma -13 | avg karma -0.42 · | 2017-05-14 17:17:11+00:00

C# and .NET is cross platform. VS isn't.
