I have an idea to create some sort of extended Immediate Window VS plugin. I’ve noticed that when I want to test something (like new Regex or DB reqest) I tend to create new console app for this. The idea is to create project that is not included in solution and references current project and has all using directives from current file. So I’ll have all advantages of code editor: usings (no full class names), syntax highliting, IntelliSense, multiline commands, other plugins (R#/CR).
Is this possible?
Option A: Write those in a test-project added to your solution
Option B: Create a console application added to your solution
Create a build-script that only builds the projects you want to give to your customers.
