What's new in MiniSharp Studio

Double-click to wire a handler. Double-click any control on the WPF canvas and MiniSharp gives it a Name (if it lacks one), adds a Click="" in the XAML, and drops a matching static void handler into your code-behind — pre-filled with ready-to-use SetText/Set/NameOf snippets that already target that control by name. Just like the classic designers, but the code writes itself.

Designer projects run live. A separate MainWindow.xaml now compiles end-to-end: hit Run Preview and your handlers actually fire on the canvas. The XAML is folded into the build for you — no embedding by hand.

Handlers can talk back to the UI. From an event handler, read and update any control you named in XAML — SetText/SetContent, the general Set("box", TextBlock.BackgroundProperty, "#512BD4") for any property (colour, visibility, size…), and GetText/Get (or typed GetInt/GetBool) to read values back. Changes show on the live canvas instantly.

One handler, many controls. MiniSharp.WPF.NameOf(sender) tells a shared handler which control raised the event, so you can branch by name — wire several buttons to one method and switch on who was clicked.

Compiler-backed IntelliSense. Completions now come from the real compiler, not a regex: your locals and parameters complete with their inferred types, myObject. lists that object's actual members, and declared types/methods are accurate across files. The kernel walks its own AST and resolves types at the cursor.

Multi-file Segment Rail. A modern, segmented file switcher in the editor header — quick-switch between a project's files without a heavy tab strip.

Console input. Console.ReadLine() now works: a stdin box appears for programs that read input, sent when you Run.

Go to File & Go to Symbol. ⌘P jumps to any file, ⌘⇧O jumps to any class/method — right inside the command palette.

Developer Tools. ⌘⇧D reveals the SSA IR and UIIR compiler views for the curious.

Editor settings. Font size, line height, tab size, minimap and word wrap — saved to your browser (⌘,).

Auto-compile on edit. Toggle silent background compilation; Run stays explicit.

Keyboard shortcuts card. Press ⌘/ for the full list.

Shareable permalinks. Your whole project packs into a single URL — no server, no account.

Format & Save. ⌘⇧F tidies whitespace; ⌘S saves the workspace instead of the browser's print-style dialog.

WPF Designer clipboard. Copy, cut, paste and duplicate controls (⌘C/X/V/D) on the canvas.

Live diagnostics. As-you-type squiggles, a clickable error list and a build-stat grid.

Re-architected shell. A clean, modern light/dark IDE with a ⌘K command palette.

Install as an app. A hardened offline PWA — add MiniSharp to your dock and keep coding without a connection.
