What is the closest equivalent of "Python interpreter" for C#?

Question

Here is what I mean:

Python interpreter is a great tool for checking something quickly and then throwing it away.

For instance, I wish to examine how NameValueCollection behaves in .Net (since the new MSDN help sucks so much).

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.collections.specialized.namevaluecollection.get.aspx

I tried using http://www.linqpad.net/ but it barks at using statements.

I am looking for something like that - a tiny IDE which has powerful code completion, where I can try things quickly. VS2008 is too bulky for that.

So, any recommendations? Thanks!

Answer 1

I suppose the closest one is the Mono C# interactive shell.
