Is anybody using Emacs for C# development?

What Emacs modes do you use?

A: 

Wait for Emacs.Net: http://douglaspurdy.com/2008/04/29/emacsnet/

hmmm, it's been a year and no news on emacs.net. Could it be that you should just stick to emacs?

@Cheeso- Emacs.NET is now named "Intellipad": (1) http://www.douglaspurdy.com/2010/02/10/emacs-net-2010/ (2) http://www.douglaspurdy.com/2010/02/11/does-intellipad-nee-emacs-net-support-net/

For limited environment development, I would love to get into a lightweight editor that still had some nice features.

For example, my work laptop barely runs the OS that's installed, let alone Visual Studio. So, this [Emacs] would be great in that situation.

http://blogs.msdn.com/dotnetinterop/archive/tags/emacs/default.aspx is a pretty good collection of tips on using Emacs with C#.

I use the first link you posted (Moonfire's C# Mode), along with yasnippet and some of the tips from the blog I linked to.

I use C# Mode for emacs with VisEmacs. This lets me use visual studio but replace the editor with emacs. Every time you click something in Visual Studio that triggers a file action, it is sent to emacs instead. This works much better than emacs mode in Visual Studio.

From Ray Vega: An updated version of C# mode is available on emacswiki.

That link for "C# Mode for emacs" is not useful. It's missing content.
Ray Vega
@Ray The link is updated.
Alex B
Thanks. It appears a more updated version of the mode file is being maintained on EmacsWiki: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/csharp-mode.el

Here is a useful companion to VisEmacs, that can be used to send commands from Emacs to Visual Studio.

Hi I'm using emacs for C# dev, using this tool : http://code.google.com/p/idebridge/ which contains code completion + a csharp-mode for emacs.
