We are using SharpDevelop at work for C#. I find it to be an excellent IDE. Like in Visual Studio, I am easily able to incorporate Vim as the editor. SharpDevelop reloads the edited file when I alt+tab back to it. The only minor annoyance I find (and this is true for both SharpDevelop and Visual Studio) is that it doesn't automatically load the .vimrc config file. So I have to re-configure the abbreviations I like to use. When I use Vim as a standalone editor, it automatically loads the .vimrc.
This may be configurable from within the IDE, or in Vim, so I'm cross-posting it to both forums. Just in case anyone else has encountered a similar issue.
Any ideas would be welcome. Thank you.
