Here's a fairly simplistic, quick and dirty setup if you want to use Visual
SlickEdit for C# development:

To simplify configuring the tools, I stick to the following convention:

- My project has the same name as the main file containing the main class;
i.e.,

HelloWorld.vpw (project file)
HelloWorld.cs (main file)
HelloWorld (main class)

To configure the tools:
===============

1) Under Tools | Configuration menu (keyboard shortcut: F5), select File
Extension Setup

- Click New to create support for 'cs' extension
- Enter cs for extension, leave refer-to field blank
- The Extension Options dialog should show cs now

- Choose Java for lexer (or choose cpp, if you prefer; it seemed to me that
the Java lexer had better syntax highlight support for C# than the cpp lexer
did).
- Make sure the Tabs and Syntax indent fields both say 4

- Click Project to add compiler support, then modify the command lines for
each of the tools under the tool names drop-down list:

* Compile: csc %f (click Save current file)

* Build: csc /out:%rn.exe /main:%rn *.cs (click Save all files)

* Execute: %rn.exe (Click Save none)

* User 1: cmd /K %rn.exe (Click Save none)

(The last command is for running console applications without having the
console disappear immediately when the program exits. I tried giving the
tool a custom name, but it never showed up under the Build menu, so I just
edited User 1. If anyone knows how to add a custom name, I'd love to know.)

2) Under Tools | Configuration menu (keyboard shortcut: F5), select File
Options

- Click on File Filters tab
- Add 'C# Files (*.cs),' to the file filters string (without the quotes
shown here, of course). I added this filter to the front of the list to make
it the default filter in file dialogs.

Good luck,
