Try .NET is a set of tools for developers and content authors to create interactive C# coding experiences, including a Blazor-powered in-browser runner and a 'dotnet try' global tool for interactive Markdown documentation. The project is retiring on December 31st, 2025, after nearly 8 years of operation.
Use cases
- run and edit C# code directly in the browser with no setup
- create interactive C# tutorials for documentation sites
- make Markdown files runnable with the dotnet try global tool
- embed interactive code snippets in .NET learning content
- build Blazor-based code execution experiences
When to choose
- maintaining existing Microsoft Learn-style interactive .NET documentation built on Try .NET
- you need a proven Blazor-based C# in-browser execution setup and accept the retirement date
When to avoid
- starting any new project, since Try .NET retires on December 31st, 2025
- you need long-term supported interactive documentation tooling
- modern alternatives like GitHub Codespaces or C# Dev Kit fit your workflow
