Using CSharp Web REPL from TeamMentor Control Panel

I needed to do some live debugging on TeamMentor, so I just added a simpler version of the CSharp-REPL Web to it.

To access it, go to the TeamMentor's Control Panel, and click on the C# REPL link:

which should look like this:

What is really powerful is that we have full access to the live HttpContext and (for example) the HttpRequest objects:

And if you are running TeamMentor locally (i.e. from Cassini) you can also open an O2 Script_Me C# REPL window like this:
HttpContext.Current.script_Me();
return 12;
//using System.Web;
//O2Ref:FluentSharp.BCL.dll
//O2Ref:FluentSharp.REPL.exe
//O2Ref:O2_Platform_External_SharpDevelop.dll
Which will give you a much more flexible and powerful way to script the ASP.NET Http pipeline:
