Installlation

System Requirements: CS-Script plugin requires .NET 4.0 or higher.

You can install the plugin just by activating it from the Notepad++ Plugin Manager:

The plugin brings an ultimate C# auto-completion (Intellisense) thus it is highly recommended that you disable Notepad++ own auto-completion (e.g. for C# files). Otherwise both auto-completions can start "competing for your attention". See this article for details.

To install plugin manually unpack the content of the CSScriptNpp.x.x.x.x.7z (https://github.com/oleg-shilo/cs-script.npp/releases) and copy all files from the <archive>\Plugins folder in the <Program Files>\Notepad++\plugins directory. Though be careful as manual install can lead to the assembly locking problem. You can find the details of the correct manual install procedure here.
