I've seen a few companies use HackerRank for this. They provide a few problems, one or two test cases, and then run your code against other provided test cases that you don't see.

C# doesn't seem to be working properly

string Hello () { return "test"; }

Console.WriteLine(Hello());

It expects the whole program in all languages. For C# try

  using System;

  class App {
      static string Hello() { return "test"; }
      public static void Main(string[] args) {
          Console.WriteLine(Hello());
      }
  }
