Description
Writing a C# script in Notepad++ and wanting to just run or debug it usually means switching to Visual Studio or a command line. CS-Script for Notepad++ brings that step into Notepad++: it is the CS-Script plugin for the editor, letting you write, compile and run C# scripts right in Notepad++ without opening a full IDE.
It is not meant to replace an IDE — it adds the few things Notepad++ lacks for C#: code completion, one-click execution, breakpoint debugging and a tree of the assemblies a script references. For an automation snippet or a quick test, it is far faster than launching Visual Studio.
Run scripts directly: compile and execute the current .cs file in one click, with output in the panel below and no project to set up.
IntelliSense: member and parameter hints as you type, so you are not relying on memory.
Breakpoint debugging: set breakpoints and step through, inspecting variables and calls instead of debugging by print.
Reference tree: a sidebar lists the assemblies and files a script references, making its dependencies clear.
x86 and x64 builds: pick the package matching your Notepad++ architecture.
