Run C# online in your browser

This is a free online C# playground and compiler. Write C# code directly in your browser, hit Run, and watch mcs compile and Mono execute your program in seconds — no local .NET SDK, no Visual Studio, no dotnet CLI required. It's the fastest way to try a LINQ query, test a generic method, or work through a C# interview problem.

Under the hood, the editor uses the same engine as VS Code (C# syntax highlighting, autocompletion, diagnostic squiggles), and your code compiles with the Mono mcs compiler and runs on Mono 6.12 with the SGen garbage collector. Whether you're exploring LINQ, testing async/await, or prepping for a C# interview, this online C# compiler goes from idea to output in seconds — no csproj to scaffold.

What makes this C# playground useful

  • Instant C# execution — write code, press Run, and see output from the online C# compiler in seconds, no dotnet CLI or csproj needed.
  • Full C# syntax highlighting, type-aware autocompletion, and clear mcs compile errors — the same editor engine that powers VS Code.
  • Stdin input supported — Console.ReadLine(), Console.Read(), and Console.In.ReadToEnd() all read from the playground's input box, so interactive C# programs work end-to-end. No install — no .NET SDK, Visual Studio, Rider, or Mono on your machine.
  • Mono 6.12 with the mcs compiler — write C# programs, use LINQ, generics, and async/await without installing the .NET SDK.

What you can build in the C# playground

  • LINQ queries — Where, Select, GroupBy, Aggregate over arrays and lists, with the compiler validating your lambdas.
  • Classes, interfaces, generics, and pattern matching — core C# idioms you can test one method at a time.
  • Quick C# experiments — try an extension method, test an async Task, verify a tuple deconstruction, or confirm how a nullable type flows.

Online C# compiler FAQ

Is the online C# compiler free?
Yes. The online C# playground is completely free — no sign-up, no .NET SDK to install, no Visual Studio license to buy. Open the page and compile.
Do I need the .NET SDK or Visual Studio installed?
No install needed. You don't need dotnet, Visual Studio, Rider, or Mono on your machine — the online C# compiler compiles with mcs and runs your program on Mono 6.12 in seconds.
Does the C# playground work on mobile and Chromebooks?
Yes. The C# playground runs on any modern browser — desktop, tablet, or mobile. Great for running C# from a Chromebook or a machine where you can't install the .NET SDK.
Can I use Console.ReadLine() in the online C# compiler?
Yes. The playground has a stdin input box — Console.ReadLine(), Console.Read(), and Console.In.ReadToEnd() all read your typed lines the same way they would when you run a compiled .exe locally at the terminal. Great for interview problems that parse lines into arrays of ints.
How do I learn C# after trying the playground?
Edit the sample C# code, press Run, and iterate. When you want structured practice, Coddy's interactive C# course covers classes, LINQ, generics, async/await, and more with hands-on exercises.
