Vi and Vim allow for really awesome customization, typically stored inside a .vimrc file. Typical features for a programmer would be syntax highlighting, smart indenting and so on.
What other tricks for productive programming have you got, hidden in your .vimrc?
I am mostly interested in refactorings, auto classes and similar productivity macros, especially for C#.
You asked for it :-)

filetype plugin indent on
syntax on
This isn't in my .vimrc file, but yesterday I learned about the ]p command. This pastes the contents of a buffer just like p does, but it automatically adjusts the indent to match the line the cursor is on! This is excellent for moving code around.
I use the following to keep all the temporary and backup files in one place:
set backup
set backupdir=~/.vim/backup
set directory=~/.vim/tmp
Saves cluttering working directories all over the place.
You will have to create these directories first, vim will not create them for you.
Someone (viz. Frew) who posted above had this line:
"Automatically cd into the directory that the file is in:"
autocmd BufEnter * execute "chdir ".escape(expand("%:p:h"), ' ')
I was doing something like that myself until I discovered the same thing could be accomplished with a built in setting:
set autochdir
I think something similar has happened to me a few different times. Vim has so many different built-in settings and options that it's sometimes quicker and easier to roll-your-own than search the docs for the built-in way to do it.
My latest addition is for highlighting of the current line
set cul # highlight current line
hi CursorLine term=none cterm=none ctermbg=3 # adjust color
Update 2012: I'd now really recommend checking out vim-powerline which has replaced my old statusline script, albeit currently missing a few features I miss.
I'd say that the statusline stuff in my vimrc was probably most interesting/useful out of the lot (ripped from the authors vimrc here and corresponding blog post here).

Amongst other things, it informs on the status line of the usual standard file information but
also includes additional things like warnings for :set paste, mixed indenting, trailing
white space etc. Pretty useful if you're particularly anal about your
code formatting.
Furthermore and as shown in the screenshot, combining it with
syntastic allows any syntax errors to
be highlighted on it (assuming your language of choice has an associated syntax checker
bundled.

Makes the tab-autocomplete figure out whether you want to place a word there or an actual
tab(4 spaces).
map cc :.,$s/^ *//<CR>
Remove all opening whitespace from here to the end of the file. For some reason I find this useful a lot.
set nu!
set nobackup
Show line numbers and don't create those annoying backup files. I've never restored anything from an old backup anyways.
imap ii <C-[>
While in insert, press i twice to go to command mode. I've never come across a word or variable with 2 i's in a row, and this way I don't have to have my fingers leave the home row or press multiple keys to switch back and forth.

My 242-line .vimrc is not that interesting, but since nobody mentioned it, I felt like I must share the two most important mappings that have enhanced my workflow besides the default mappings:
map <C-j> :bprev<CR>
map <C-k> :bnext<CR>
set hidden " this will go along
Seriously, switching buffers is the thing to do very often. Windows, sure, but everything doesn't fit the screen so nicely.
Similar set of maps for quick browsing of errors (see quickfix) and grep results:
map <C-n> :cn<CR>
map <C-m> :cp<CR>
Simple, effortless and efficient.

I use cscope from within vim (making great use of the multiple buffers). I use control-K to initiate most of the commands (stolen from ctags as I recall). Also, I've already generated the .cscope.out file.

I keep my vimrc file up on github. You can find it here:

I'm on OS X, so some of these might have better defaults on other platforms, but regardless:

Put this in your vimrc:
imap <C-l> <Space>=><Space>
and never think about typing a hashrocket again. Yes, I know you don't need to in Ruby 1.9. But never mind that.
My full vimrc is here.
Well, you'll have to scavenge my configs yourself. Have fun. Mostly it's just my desired setup, including mappings and random syntax-relevant stuff, as well as folding setup and some plugin configuration, a tex-compilation parser etc.
BTW, something I found extremely useful is "highlight word under cursor":
highlight flicker cterm=bold ctermfg=white
au CursorMoved <buffer> exe 'match flicker /\V\<'.escape(expand('<cword>'), '/').'\>/'
Note that only cterm and termfg are used, because I don't use gvim. If you want that to work in gvim just replac them with gui and guifg, respectively.
I've tried to keep my .vimrc as generally useful as possible.
A handy trick in there is a handler for .gpg files to edit them securely:
au BufNewFile,BufReadPre *.gpg :set secure vimi= noswap noback nowriteback hist=0 binary
au BufReadPost *.gpg :%!gpg -d 2>/dev/null
au BufWritePre *.gpg :%!gpg -e -r 'name#email.com' 2>/dev/null
au BufWritePost *.gpg u
1) I like a statusline (with the filename, ascii value (decimal), hex value, and the standard lines, cols, and %):
set statusline=%t%h%m%r%=[%b\ 0x%02B]\ \ \ %l,%c%V\ %P
" Always show a status line
set laststatus=2
"make the command line 1 line high
set cmdheight=1
2) I also like mappings for split windows.
" <space> switches to the next window (give it a second)
" <space>n switches to the next window
" <space><space> switches to the next window and maximizes it
" <space>= Equalizes the size of all windows
" + Increases the size of the current window
" - Decreases the size of the current window
:map <space> <c-W>w
:map <space>n <c-W>w
:map <space><space> <c-W>w<c-W>_
:map <space>= <c-W>=
if bufwinnr(1)
map + <c-W>+
map - <c-W>-
endif
There isn't much actually in my .vimrc (even if it has 850 lines). Mostly settings and a few common and simple mappings that I was too lazy to extract into plugins.
If you mean "template-files" by "auto-classes", I'm using a template-expander plugin -- on this same site, you'll find the ftplugins I've defined for C&C++ editing, some may be adapted to C# I guess.
Regarding the refactoring aspect, there is a tip dedicated to this subject on http://vim.wikia.com ; IIRC the example code is for C#. It inspired me a refactoring plugin that still needs of lot of work (it needs to be refactored actually).
You should have a look at the archives of vim mailing-list, specially the subjects about using vim as an effective IDE. Don't forget to have a look at :make, tags, ...
HTH,
My .vimrc includes (among other, more usefull things) the following line:
set statusline=%2*%n\|%<%*%-.40F%2*\|\ %2*%M\ %3*%=%1*\ %1*%2.6l%2*x%1*%1.9(%c%V%)%2*[%1*%P%2*]%1*%2B
I got bored while learning for my high school finals.
Here is my .vimrc. I use Gvim 7.2

The real config files lie under ~/.vim/ :)
And most of the stuff there is parasiting on other people's efforts, blatantly adapted from vim.org to my editing advantage.
