NetPad is a cross-platform C# editor and playground that lets developers run C# code instantly without creating or managing projects. It is an open-source alternative to LINQPad, running as a native desktop app (Electron or Tauri) or in a web browser.
Use cases
- quickly prototype and test C# code snippets
- query databases with LINQ or SQL interactively
- visualize data while coding
- experiment with new C# language features
- write and save reusable utility or admin scripts
- learn C# in an interactive environment
When to choose
- you want a free, open-source LINQPad alternative
- you need to run C# snippets without scaffolding projects
- you want cross-platform support on Windows, macOS, or Linux
- you need interactive database querying with LINQ or SQL
When to avoid
- you need a full IDE with project management and debugging
- you work primarily in languages other than C#
- you require a purely terminal-based workflow without a GUI
