The C# compiler, csc.exe, takes all its arguments at once in one call to build a library or executable. Listing all the sources, and its references (other libraries it depends on) all at once. You can do it as command line arguments, or as contents of a response file, or a combination or arguments plus response file.
Conceptually, it's "just like Java." They do have separate project files for it with VS, though. The generators will need code to generate *.csproj files, rather than custom commands in a vcxproj file, to make it seem like it's really well-integrated with VS. Not sure if *.csproj files have evolved much over the last few releases of VS -- I'd expect the major challenge with this to be making sure CMake generates proper *.csproj files for however many versions of VS it would take to make it acceptable.
