You may also want to take a look at flymake.el 
(http://flymake.sourceforge.net) for ideas on integration being that it
was developed for C#. If you want to use it as a src block, get the
ideas from flymake.el to incorporate them with a potential
ob-csharp.el. 

Caveat Emptor.

Using flymake.el and org.el *will* break C-' in org mode if you have flymake
attached to a given programming mode hook. I only mention flymake.el 
because it has a fair integration with csc/msc and you may want to get ideas on how to
implement some of these in ob-csharp, especially error handling from csc/msc compiler.

I use flymake.el at work being that I do not use C# in src blocks. 

csharp-mode.el tends to be temperamental with the version of cc mode. If
csharp-mode.el starts acting funny, cc mode is the problem. Make sure
that you have the latest and greatest in your environment.
