Any light weight alternatives to Visual Studio for testing code snippets? [closed]
Questions asking us to recommend or find a tool, library or favorite off-site resource are off-topic for Stack Overflow as they tend to attract opinionated answers and spam. Instead, describe the problem and what has been done so far to solve it.

开发者_开发技巧 Improve this questionAre there any light weight tools (preferably portable so I can put it in a memory stick) that can compile C# code snippets? I don't want to load Visual Studio, create a project and all to test a small code snippet.
Thansks!
How about http://rextester.com/rundotnet?
This is online - so always available - downsides are it's a little slow, so good for trying out simple things quickly - not so great if you're doing anything more complex.
Alternatively if you want an offline approach try Linq Pad
http://www.linqpad.net/
Although it was primarily created to debug LINQ statements - it actually works as a great lightweight general purpose IDE.
SnippetCompiler would be one, though it hasn't been updated for a while so could be out of date.
Edit: See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2775055/looking-for-replacement-for-snippet-compiler for more up-to-date alternatives
I have created a lightweight version of Visual Studio. It is essentially just the
packages required to get MSBuild.exe
working.
The installer is a PowerShell script that sets the necessary variables, registry keys and files.
