Yes, gtags recognizes the .cs extension.
Please try this:

1. Copy the config file and change it to match your environment.

[in your project]
$ cp /usr/local/share/gtags/gtags.conf .
$ vi gtags.conf
...
universal-ctags|setting to use Universal Ctags plug-in parser:\
...
ctagscom=/usr/local/bin/ctags:\ <===== change the path of ctags

2. Execute gtags

$ export GTAGSLABEL=universal-ctags <===== use Universal ctags
$ gtags

To make sure it's working properly, please use --explain option.

$ gtags --explain
...
- File 'global/global.c' is handled as follows:
suffix:   |.c|
language: |C|
parser:   |parser|
library:  |/usr/local/lib/gtags/universal-ctags.la| <=== universal
ctags is used.
