Is there a forum where I can go to suggest that to them? The only problem with
supporting C# is the fact that to make it fully compatible with the needs of
the C# developer, they'd also have to support the development of ASP.net, which
is something that SharpDevelop never did, and never will do.

Who knows? That might be in its future. It's open source and
customizable with plugins. You can also manually add compilers to it.
I don't see why c# couldn't be added at some point in the future.
They're adding fortran to it, I think which is no where near as close
to c++ as c# looks. Their primary focus though is c++. It looks like
they are trying to fill and then surpass the void dev c++ left when
development for it ceased in 2005. I messed around with that too but
couldn't get anything to compile because it uses an ancient version of
the gnu c++ compiler and I couldn't figure out how to add or change
it. I could get stuff to compile in cl.exe that would refuse to
compile in dev c++'s gnu version.
