Very nice! I have a "scratchpad" project for fiddling around with things, but this might wind up a permanent tab on my browser. Less overhead than a VS project, for sure.

Mono ships with a C# REPL: http://www.mono-project.com/CsharpRepl

After using F# and having F# Interactive onhand, I cannot imagine working without a REPL. There's so many small things that become simple to check if you've got a REPL handy.

http://liveweave.com is by far the best HTML/CSS/JS playground out there. you guys should totally try it out.

Honest question: Why?

I think I can answer that. IMHO Liveweave has something most of the other JS "playgrounds" do not have. It has context-sensitive code-hinting for core JavaScript and jQuery...also for CSS/HTML/HTML5/CSS3. Personally, I think this makes a huge difference, at least for me and may be some others.

Boohoo, any file access is disabled, and any Environment.GetFolderPath will return an empty string (except System, which throws a security violation) :P

We may look to add local storage sandbox for this.

IsolatedStorage may work well for this.

This is great. One small bug cropped up, I collaborated on a fiddle with a work colleague and he couldn't see any output from clicking Run. http://www.dotnetfiddle.net/lN6m0S Great work though, will be in my favourites :)

Those are some curious methods, but I'm not sure the names fold and foldback are appropriate given what they actually do.

While this one doesn't have the nice "fiddle" suffix, it has been around for a while and supports a lot of platforms: http://ideone.com/

There's also https://jitjot.net

The blog entry explaining how to use it is here: http://sbknull.blogspot.com

It's built on ASP.net MVC. We're thinking of open sourcing it.

It saves a new version of your code with each save and you have a repository of code entries via your user link:

Of course you can just park code there if you'd like.

This is super awesome! I was thinking of building something like this the other day because I wanted to test some code and not make a new test console app. Totally awesome!

As stated elsewhere linqpad is really great for testing ad-hoc, throwaway C# code (much more than just linq expressions). It kind of like a REPL for .net.

If you're doing any Entity Framework development, you should be using LinqPad and checking generated SQL for pretty much every canned (read re-used, not inline) query you write. Somethings can be unexpectedly ugly and badly performing if not optimized properly.
