Is there an interactive interpreter for C#? [closed]

Answer 1

With the Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 there now is a C# Interactive tool window built into Visual Studio.

The new tool window is invoked by going to View → Other Windows → C# Interactive.

For Visual Studio 2010 to 2013 you can use the Roslyn CTP to get a similar tool window in Visual Studio.

Answer 2

Have a look at CsharpRepl (part of the Mono project). Never used it myself, I hasten to add.

For LINQ stuff, you should also look at LINQPad.

Answer 3

I use ideone.com sometimes, but LINQPad is a good choice if an install is acceptable.

Answer 4

There is ScriptCS which uses the Roslyn CTP nuget package.

Answer 5

There are several.

• CsharpRepl
• CSI: A Simple C# Interpreter
• SnippetCompiler
• LINQPad

Answer 6

Like others noted, Mono's CSharpRepl is probably the right answer. However, if you're not fixed to C#, then PowerShell is a pretty nice environment of playing around with .NET. I frequently use it to test regular expressions, format strings, etc. All the kinds of stuff you have ConsoleProject163 lying around for :)
