Visual Studio 2010 C# one-liners compiler

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Anders Hejlsberg's C# 4.0 REPL

Is there a native window/extension in VS2010 where you can write one-liners and see the result( like the 'Immediate Window', witch, as far as I know, is only usable in Debug mode).

I'm not interested in external tools like Linq Pad or SnippetCompiler

I've voted to close as a duplicate because it's a long-standing question whose answer, I believe is still ultimately the same. Incidentally - the comment from 2011 on the question itself there, pointing to Roslyn, is prescient - because MS are in the process rearchitecting and unifying the whole compilation stack and part of that *could* yield a C# REPL window (I believe Roslyn does include one) — Andras Zoltan, Aug 03 '12 at 08:58
check out http://stackoverflow.com/a/760475/999042. Anyway, being "not interested" in perfectly functional external tools is illogic. — Alex, Aug 03 '12 at 09:03

With Roslyn, Visual Studio will get a built in interactive window:

Unfortunately, it is still only at CTP status.

Maybe the IronPython interactive console (inside visual studio) could do the work. But it's not a straight answer :/
