Put this file into your orgmode-folder (i. e. .emacs.d/elpa/org-20XXXXXX).

In your .emacs-file add csharp to the list of babel languages, i. e.:

(org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '((csharp . t)))

Tests

Hello World

class HelloWorld {
  public static void Main()
  {
    System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
  }
}

Hello World!

Tables

class Table {
  public static void Main()
  {
    for (char  c = 'a'; c < 'd'; c++)
      System.Console.Write("{0} ",c);
    System.Console.WriteLine();
    for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
      System.Console.Write("{0} ",i);
  }
}

a	b	c
0	1	2
