Snippet compiler

Snippet Compiler v 1.11

The Snippet Compiler is a small Windows based application that allows you to write, compile, and run code. This tool is useful if you have small pieces of code ( lets say to test a small piece of code ) for which you don't want to create an entire Visual Studio .NET project .The following features you will get from this tool.

ü Compiles and runs single or multiple C#, VB.NET and ASP.NET snippets.

ü Optionally builds WinForm EXEs, console EXEs or DLLs.

ü Displays compile errors and warning, including wave lines in editor with error/warning tooltips.

ü IntelliSense for static members and method signatures, as well as constructor signatures.

ü Imports VS.NET projects.

ü Conveniently sits in the notification area waiting to be useful.

ü Exports snippets to HTML/RTF

To run the snippet code just press the play button (green triangle marked with red circle ) and it will run in debug mode.If you want to test some code very quickly I suggest use snippet compiler and its available at your system’s notification area and easy to access and run this tool. Snippet Compiler was written by Jeff Key and can be downloaded from http://www.sliver.com/dotnet/SnippetCompiler/
