+------------------------
+
+* The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above
+ learned to support the C# language. C# assemblies and
+ programs can be added just like common C++ targets using
+ the :command:`add_library` and :command:`add_executable`
+ commands. Referencing between several C# targets in the same
+ source tree is done by :command:`target_link_libraries` like
+ for C++. Referencing to system or 3rd party assemblies is
+ done by the target properties :prop_tgt:`VS_DOTNET_REFERENCE_<refname>`
+ and :prop_tgt:`VS_DOTNET_REFERENCES`.
+
+* C# as a language can be enabled using :command:`enable_language`
+ or :command:`project` with ``CSharp``. It is not enabled by
+ default.
+
+* Flag variables, target properties and other configuration
+ that specifically targets C# contains ``CSharp`` as a part of
+ their names.
+
+* More finetuning of C# targets can be done using target
+ properties. Specifically the Visual Studio related target
+ properties (``VS_*``) are worth a look (for setting toolset
+ versions, root namespaces, assembly icons, ...).
