I am in an unfortunate situation where I need to work on a C# project

Is there anyone out there that has made this transition? What are
the best bits of advice you can offer someone who is going through
it? Specifically, what tools would you recommend for Unit Testing? For
an IDE? Am I hopelessly tied to what every my company is willing to
pay for wrt what IDE I use? I miss Eclipse more than words can tell.

Possible IDE's:
- Visual Studio (Express Edition is free, the rest cost money)
- SharpDevelop (open source, I like it !)
- Eclipse with Emonic C# plugin

Unit testing:
- the one that comes with the expensive versions of VS
- NUunit which is a relative direct port of JUnit

Other tools that may make you feel at home:
- log4net
- nant

ANT also has tasks to build .NET apps. This is very handy for a combined
..NET/Java build.
