The .NET Compiler Platform ("Roslyn") provides open-source C# and Visual Basic compilers with rich code analysis APIs. It enables building code analysis tools with the same APIs that are used by Visual Studio.

Try new language and IDE features

Just want to provide feedback on new language features and IDE features?

• Try out Visual Studio 2015, which has the latest features built-in.

• Want to keep your box clean? You can use prebuilt Azure VM images with VS 2015 already installed.
