>>If they're just .cs files that can be run by themselves, then don't use VS to play with them. Get a text editor and do the compiles by command line. I also find that projects are overkill for some testing. In those sorts of situations, I use UltraEdit and I compile and run .cs files using macros. Works very nicely.

I'm pretty sure that to get intellisense working, you need to add the necessary references, and in order to do that, you need a project.
