How to use the Console output in the C# REPL

The VisualStudio C# REPL – O2 Platform can be downloaded here. From the download link you get a Visual Studio Extension (.vsix file extension).

Since this REPL is a great tool for developers, I wanted to use the Console output feature, the following code snippet shows how to achieve this functionability:

var topPanel = "Util - ConsoleOut".popupWindow(500,300);
topPanel.add_ConsoleOut();
//O2File:API_ConsoleOut.cs
Console.WriteLine("This text should be displayed in the Console");

This code produces the following output:

This is a powerful (and easy) feature that can help us to take advantage of the time 🙂

Real-time Vulnerability Creation Feedback inside VisualStudio

There is a really interesting video that shows how to perform static analysis of code at the compilation time on top of Visual Studio.Net.  The creation of this mechanism is really powerful , because at compilation time, you can find and correct most of the security holes we can create. Just imaging the valued added that this process can provide to a large software development projects?.

By the way, the Visual Studio add-in is located in your local copy of OWASP O2 Platform, in the O2.Platform.Projects folder there should be a  Visual Studio Project named O2.VisualStudio.AddIn . The .AddIn file can be found in the binaries folder.

Visual Studio Addin

Once you have installed  the Add-in, you will be able to use this powerful tool on top of Visual Studio IDE.

• O2 and REPL   – O2 script environment is REPL
• Running O2 REPL Script environment inside Visual Studio 2010  – you can  write O2 scripts inside Visual Studio
• Running O2 natively on OSX (via mono) – but not 100% stable – first PoC of running O2 under mono on OSX
