Support for C# in Rider
Yeah. I already tried to add support for C#, because I'm using it, too. Unfortunately, Rider is completely different from IDEA. It has nearly nothing in common with IDEA, because Rider uses the Intellij Platform only as a wrapper for ReSharper. See https://blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2017/02/07/rider-front-end-plugin-development/ for details.
It's really a pity! In order to implement this plugin for Rider one has to reimplement the whole plugin in C# for ReSharper. Unfortunately, I don't have the time for that and I also don't want to maintain two different code basis. So as long as JetBrains does this trick/workaround with ReSharper I don't see that Custom Postfix Templates in coming to Rider. IMO, Rider is by far better than Visual Studio. So I hope that more and more C# developers switch to Rider. And maybe at some point (when the market share of Visual Studio dropped below 30%) JetBrains will give up ReSharper and reimplement the whole thing with the Intellij Platform. That would be great! Then Rider could benefit from a lot plugins that are currently incompatible with it. And I would also start adding support for C#/Rider for this plugin.
Today I learned that ReSharper 9.1 comes with a feature similar to "postfix templates". It's called "source templates" and can be configured by the user: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/resharper/Source_Templates.html
Status update: According to https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000670130/comments/360000161480 there is a simple C# parser coming in Rider 2018.3 EAP2. I will take a look at it in the next days it to see if it is sufficient.

Is it means the extension will supported in visual studio and c#?
Rider consists of a small Intellij IDEA side and a plugin called ReSharper. ReSharper is also a plugin for Visual Studio to provide a nice code editor. My plugin is implemented in Java (for Intellij IDEA). So it cannot be used in ReSharper/Visual Studio. On the weekend I checked whether I can add support for C# in Rider, but so far it did not work. I already asked a JetBrains developer what I can do, but did not get a response yet.

Any news about this? I use CPT extensively with IntelliJ in Java and it would be incredible to also be able to use it with Rider!
