I’m used to using PHP and Python, languages that allow you to run on the command line in interactive mode, so it’s easier to test or learn something new, since I won’t need to compile all the time (as it is in the case of C#).

Is there any way to use C# on the command line in interactive mode?

For example, in Python I can do this:

$ python
>>> 1 + 2
>>> # 3

The answer may be to the Windows, but if you have any way of doing Linux, would be grateful for a solution.

I use Ubuntu 14.04 operating system.

c# command-line

There have been a few options for quite some time now official component working together with Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 forward (but you don’t need it to work). More information on Scott Hanselman’s blog.

It’s supposed to work with. NET Core on Linux, but I have no information on how the support is, if it needs any additional effort or is ready to use.

Article in MSDN Magazine.

Other options (some only online):

Some people still like the REPL from Linqpad.

  • Interesting is that in my Ubuntu was installed a command csharp and I didn’t know. It also serves +1

  • @Wallacemaxters there I don’t know, I only know the csi which is REPL on Windows when install all.

  • I’m confused, I don’t know if he installed how mono-complete, dnx or dotnet core (that link you gave me)

    @Wallacemaxters look like Mono.

  • Until now I didn’t know what REPL was, it would give a good question, kkkkkk

There is, in Visual Studio 2015 there is an official component to this.

Just get in View > Other windows > C# interactive that a panel will be opened.
