Run code from IDE

How can i run a bit of code straight from the IDE? Right now i make a
temporary button and put the code behind that, then i run debug mode
and click on the button. Is there a way to highlight some code and
tell it to run that? Is there a "scratchpad " type window like in VBA
where I can write some simple code to be executed? Thanks for the help
in advance

In debug mode you can write and execute in immediate window

This is quite limited, for example you cannot declare variables.

I wish there was a way to run a single sub or function, or even to open
a form without having to set it as the default start up form. Maybe I
am missing something When you guys want to test little things or run a
little maintenece procedure, what do you do?

OK, well just because you are writing a windows applications it doesent mean
you need a user interface. You can remove the form and use a sub main in a
module. you can put your code in there.

Bryan,

I just open them as form, keep the default name and clean all with those
default names up time by time.

|I read your article, but without being rude in any way, I dont see that
your methods in step 3 or 4 are functionally any different from what you say
is cumbersome in step 1. In fact I think its more cumbersome and has no
particular advantage wrt trying out a snippet of code.

Things changed with the advent of .NET and people are just going to have to
get over it. In all honesty when you are writing code everyday for seven
hours a day, you get better at preventing compiler or runtime failures and
its not such an issue.

I put it in a button click event or in form load.

My experience is this:
The project I'm working on takes about 10 seconds to compile and about
30 seconds to start. This is 40 seconds. Just to see whether, for
example some regular expression I wrote is correct. Opening Snipped
Editor, pasting two lines of code and executing takes me about 10
seconds. With macro IDE it is even faster.

Hey Guys, Today we are going to look at Code Access Security. Code access security is a feature of .NET that manages code depending on its trust level. If the CLS trusts the code enough to allow it ro run then it will execute, the code execution depends on the permission provided to the assembly. If the code is not trusted wnough to run or it attempts to perform an action which doe not have the required permissions then its execution...

This code executes pretty frequently (maybe 4 times per transaction) and...

Hello, Newbie here, so please forgive what is probably a basic question ... I see a lot of discussion about "code behind", which if I have understood correctly, means that the script code goes in a separate file from the HTML. Apart from the obvious advantage if you have a separate designer and programmer, are there any other advantages to code behind? Most of the stuff I've seen so far uses code inside, but that's probably
