C# Console/CLI Interpreter?

Question

I wonder if there is something like a standalone Version of Visual Studios \"Immediate Window\"? Sometimes I just want to test some simple stuff, like \"DateTime.Parse(\"bla

Answer 1

You may find the Object Test Bench useful. It's not very well known, but lets you create instances of classes, execute static methods and so on. It can be useful for discovering how to use unfamiliar APIs or for quick debugging of your own classes and methods, saving the creation of a test harness for simple checks.

You can find the MSDN documentation here:
