Is Roslyn End User View Available?

Question

On the Roslyn homepage, there is a link for “View End User,” which will lead you to the Microsoft Connect website.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/roslyn.aspx

Instead of seeing the form to complete so that I can download the end-user preview, what I actually see is the My Panel area. Therefore, I search for "rosyln" in the "Product Directory", but the results are not displayed.

Is Roslyn available to Visual Studio 2013 users as an end-user preview, or since Visual Studio 2015 Preview is on the scene, has Microsoft removed this download?

Answer 1

As of today (November 18, 2014), the links come back to life. Apparently, the hosting had a 6-month expiration, which passed without us noticing.

Excuse for troubling.

However, I will point out that we did not update Preview for VS2013, so the APIs are quite outdated, and there are a number of important errors that have been fixed. I would recommend using VS 2015 Preview to view the .NET Compiler Platform ("Roslyn").

Edit: You need to click “Downloads” in the upper left of the screen.

Alternatively, you can go directly to the download: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?DownloadID=52793

Change 2 (2015/01/02) . It looks like the files have been deleted again.

Edit 3 (2015/02/23) : files are uploaded again
