After browsing around and experimenting I have decided that LINQPad is a vital tool to have for this sort of thing, and more. It has improved greatly since I last looked at it, so I've even decided to get a Premium licence key. It's just a shame I can do my snippet editing and testing from within VS2012.
I now have to figure out who will rip me off the least for the $58 purchase: Westpac VISA or PayPal. The former has a 3.5% international transaction free, I'm not sure how PayPal works but I'll try to compare. Greg
