Yes, I know there is MonoDevelop. But what if I want to use Textmate instead?

So my question here is aimed at the .Net developer who has developed some C# applications using Textmate. I'm curious as to what their process/workflow is with this setup.

  • What is the best C# bundle out there for syntax/language grammar?
  • How do you build your project? (easy to build app for 2.0, 3.0, and/or 3.5 framework?)
  • Can you easily start a C# application in Visual Studio, and then continue to use TextMate in it's place?

Are there too many pitfalls here in thinking I could do this, and am I just taking crazy pills?

  • Funny you mention that, I do use that for Visual Studio, with the Consolas font: http://www.microsoft.com/DOWNLOADS/details.aspx?familyid=22E69AE4-7E40-4807-8A86-B3D36FAB68D3&displaylang=en. :) Good to bring it up though, for those who haven't seen it. Thanks. – program247365 Aug 05 '09 at 02:54

To be honest I still do my actual C# building through a Virtual Machine running Windows, but I edit anything that I can through Textmate. I use the ASP.Net VB.Net tmbundle and I actually just discovered a C# tmbundle.

I am planning on switching to building in MonoDevelop if I can, but right now I work with teams that only use Windows so to be safe I'm still stuck building in Visual Studio.

I know this is an old question, but I found it along the way when trying to find a C# bundle for TextMate.

The C# bundle has moved from the macromoates svn repos into github at https://github.com/wintermi/csharp-tmbundle.

Hopefully this helps other people looking for the bundle.
