6.4 Creating Standalone Snippets with Snippet Compiler
So you need to quickly write and compile a couple of lines of code to prove an assertion of your’s to a colleague. You’ve bet a grande soy light chai caramel mocha latte on your assertion and you’re thirsty now. You need a quick way to prove your point and win your just rewards. Firing up an instance of Visual Studio and fooling around with creating a new project is just going to take too long. What to do? Notepad2 is quick, but it doesn’t give you any way to build or run the test code you’ll need to win your bet. Never fear; Snippet Compiler will help you win the day and score your latte.
Jeff Key, author of a huge number of highly useful utilities, created Snippet Compiler to fill just this need. Snippet Compiler is a lightweight environment for building tiny .NET apps. It supports generating Windows Forms or Console applications and even has support for templates and add-ins. Snippet Compiler supports C#, Visual Basic, and JScript.NET.
