VisualStudio C# REPL

This extension provides a C# REPL Scripting environment (based on O2 Platforms's FluentSharp APIs).

In addition to being able to write and execute quick C# snippets (in a REPL environment), you can program VisualStudio IDE in real time!

Here is a code sample that shows how to use FluentSharp's VisualStudio API to manipulate multiple parts of the VisualStudio IDE:

FluentSharp is an API that dramatically simplifies the use of .NET Framework APIs. It makes extensive use of .NET ExtensionMethods and it reduces the amount of code required (while making it more readable).

To use FluentSharp in your VisualStudio project you can use NuGet: http://nuget.org/packages?q=fluentSharp
