Those things are specifically not called a REPL because they aren't a REPL. However, there is now a thing called the C# REPL [1] that shipped with VS 2015 Update 1, but I've never used it so I'm not sure if it's true to the name.

Your link has a section titled "The Visual Studio C# Interactive Window" explaining that that's where to find all this REPL functionality in VS.NET.

But, as I said above, it's not explicitly labeled as such.

I got "Interactive" confused with the "Immediate" window. Things like the Immediate Window have been around for decades in most version of VS, but both "Interactive" and "C# REPL" are new to VS 2015.
