Answer 1

I use this: http://www.sliver.com/dotnet/SnippetCompiler/

Answer 2

Of course csc.exe

This is the official C # compiler included in the .net installation and used by Visual Studio, but you can easily use it from the command line:

Update: another useful tool that might be more than what you need (and still supported / supported) LINQPad . Its main purpose is to create LINQ statements, but it is fully capable of executing regular .NET code as well.

Answer 3

You can also use mono, it's a free, small and fast thing. It is open source and can be downloaded from www.mono-project.com

Answer 4

I think csc.exe is the first option.

But for ide, debugging and editing you can use ShapDevelop. http://www.icsharpcode.net/opensource/sd/
