C # interactive window in Visual Studio 2015 CTP 6

Question

How can I get an interactive c # window? I have Visual Studio 2015 installed CTP 6.

And I installed Roslyn , according to these instructions .

According to the blog post Using the C # interactive window that comes with Roslyn , now I should see C # interactive in

Browse → Other Windows → C # Interactive Window

but he is absent.

Did I miss something?

Answer 1

Update (November 2016): It looks like the C # Interactive tool window has been re-entered. I am using VS 2015 Update 3, which has it; but it may have been reintroduced in VS 2015 Update 1 already.

You missed the fact that the blog articles you link to were published back in 2011, where VS 2015 was not yet on the horizon. These articles apply to VS 2010 and (I assume) a very early version of Roslyn.

By the way, CTP is a preliminary version of the product. As long as Microsoft is at the CTP stage, it is subject to the possibility of rapid and even short-term performance changes. Therefore, even if these articles are applicable to VS 2015, they should be about the same version of the product that you are using; otherwise, you would not be guaranteed that they contain updated information.

  It seems that the C # interactive window worked for VS 2010 and VS 2012, but was no longer supported in some later versions of VS.

Answer 3

Updated update for Visual Studio 2015 1, so the interactive Visual Studio window will return for C #.

Answer 4

According to negotiations at the Microsoft Build Conference 2015, C # interactive will not ship with RTM VS 2015. But the code is available on GitHub, which you can pull, build and install yourself.

Yes, now it is possible.

In Visual Studio 2015, just go to View, Other Windows, Interactive C # and have fun.
