Question

I’m coming from Linux, and I want to try to learn some C# development.

But I’m partial to the command line and using Vim. Is it easy to set up Cygwin to run the csc compiler from the command line and to edit C# files directly in the console with Vim?

I downloaded SharpDevelop, but I would really like to give console-style C# development a try.

Specifically, how do I set up the PATH (is there an equivalent to .bash_profile?) so that I can run csc and vim from the Windows Console?

I’m running Windows 7.

You should give VsVim a try. With C#, you’ll thank yourself for sticking with Visual Studio.
