All your examples here makes me think that csharp-mode is indenting by
two spaces per level. As PJ says, tabs will not be used unless the line
is preceded by `tab-width' spaces (8 in your case). If you set tab-width
to 4, I expect to see tabs used for the most deeply indented lines on
the example quoted above.

Put this in your .emacs and see if it makes a difference:

(defun my-csharp-mode-fn ()
  (c-set-style "C#")
  (setq tab-width 4)
  (setq indent-tabs-mode t))

(add-hook 'csharp-mode-hook 'my-csharp-mode-fn)
