How to compile C# file without a project?

Is there a way in VS2013 to compile a C# file without a project or solution?

This is useful, e.g. in editing some C# code quickly while preparing a Stack Overflow answer while scrubbing corporate IP from the file (without risking any harm to the "real project").

The build toolbar is grayed-out.

I know one can occasionally see squiggles for errors.

Any other simple ideas?

You can use Snippet Compiler. You can download it from below URL.

http://www.sliver.com/dotnet/SnippetCompiler/

Its a stand alone light weight small application.

If you have Mono C# installed then C# REPL is awesome tool to execute small chunk of c# code.

You can use https://dotnetfiddle.net/

You can specify different things in it. It is best for writing fast answers, also you can post link with your saved work. It is similar to jsfiddle if you aware of it.
