AvaloniaILSpy VS SharpLab

Keep in mind there's AvaloniaILSpy for non-Windows users.

Sad that it is not running on macOS. For the last few years I used Gimp, but I have a feeling that Gimp is getting more and more unintuitive nowadays (if it ever was intuitive).

Recently I needed to do some ad-hoc drawings and I found myself using one of these online paint clones. There is plenty of them.

I would really love to have Paint.NET on macOS. I think MS efforts for making .NET cross platforms are somehow half-assed. They ported just as much to run web apps and REST services but totally gave up on GUI stuff. Maybe it's their strategy to lock devs to windows machines, as there are many tools like ILSpy that .NET devs often use.

The community answer, the last time I checked, was AvaloniaUI (https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia) which is cross platform port of WPF (at least XAML based). ILSpy is already ported to it (https://github.com/icsharpcode/AvaloniaILSpy) but it runs poorly on Linux (I have experienced random crashes and UI problems). I hope the project will do well and within a year or two we will also see port of Pain.NET.

If you need to view IL on Linux/Mac, you can use this: https://github.com/icsharpcode/AvaloniaILSpy

ILSpy - icsharpcode/AvaloniaILSpy: Avalonia-based .NET Decompiler (port of ILSpy) (github.com)

Do these all compile to the exact same thing?

Yes, so you are right.

Recently, while creating some experimental C# source code generators (xafero/csharp-generators), I was just concatenating strings together. Like you do, you know, if things have to go very quickly. If you have a simple use case, use a formatted multi-line string or some template library like scriban. But I searched for a way to generate more and more complicated logic easily - like for example, adding raw SQL handler methods to my pre-generated DBSet-like classes for my ADO.NET experiment. You could now say: Use Roslyn and that's really fine if you look everything up in a website like SharpLab, which shows immediately the syntax tree of our C# code.

One results in MOVSX, the other in MOVZX [1]. The difference thus is sign/zero extension when moving to the larger register. However, they seem to perform pretty much identical if I'm reading Agner Fog's instruction tables correctly.

If you don't have an IDE, you can use SharpLab.io or dotnet fiddle

The closest online tool I can think of would be SharpLab, but you can only choose between Roslyn's git branches instead of C# versions.

Your code is destructuring two properties and discarding one of them. It doesn't work with a single property: https://sharplab.io/#v2:C4LgTgrgdgNAJiA1AHwAICYAMBYAUBgRj2Nw...

I think that records don't generate a deconstruct method when they only have one property, but even if you manually define one you'll get an error on `var (varName) = ...`

- LinqPad is great and I love, but, IMO, it is not the best tool to start with. It does not provide intellisense or debugger in the free version. Assuming you do not want to pay for this licence just to play a little with the language, I'd suggest https://sharplab.io/. It is not as powerfull as LinqPad, but at least it gives you suggestions.
