For me it's kinda simple: Setup the $PROJECTROOT as shared to the VM (it's an NTFS partition auto-mounted via fstab), spin-up the VM, work in the host, when it comes time to test/build/debug: switch to the VM's workspace and fire up Visual Studio. Everything else is done in the host OS (and mostly with vim).

I'm still learning my company's codebase, but once I've had a chance to fully grok the solution and csproj files to see what their build-steps are, I'll be looking into scripting the VM's startup to include the build and test steps so that I don't have to have it running and then be forced to click so much, then I can avoid using Visual Studio for anything but possibly debugging (VS's debugger really is great).

I haven't used Windows in any "primary" capacity, ever, so there's still a lot about it that I need to learn before my workflow can be properly tweaked to an ideal.
