This is probably a looooong shot, but I'll ask anyway:
As most of you are probably aware, you can take a look at the .Net code at Reference Source[^]
Is there a similar place for the C# compiler?

I think it actually might be.

I need to record time spent on a specific project. I'm not working continuously on the project, but put in an hour here, five minutes there etc, and it's becoming quite tedious writing down all the time spent and adding it together.
So I'm looking for a simple stopwatch application. Plenty of those around, with nice GUIs, floating on top windows (which I don't want in this case, but I can see why some people would think it's nice) etc, but all I've find is missing the feature I want the most:
I want to be able to start and stop it by clicking its icon in the system tray so that I don't have to spend additional time locating the GUI window to start and stop it.
Anybody has any suggestions?
And to anticipate the obvious reply: Yes, I COULD roll my own in a matter of hours, but why would I want to spend even a couple of hours reinventing something that already exists?
Apart from that, I know myself too well: If I made my own application, I would spend hours and hours improving, polishing, tweaking, etc. Time that could be well spend doing the real task instead....

If it existed... wouldn't you have found it already?
Additionally... cool idea for a pet project for someone with spare time.

Yes, but spare time is hard to come by...

I wouldn't know... I don't have normal television and I don't watch soccer, except from some EM or WM with friends in the biergarten, what right now would be a bit difficult.

That Bob and his hamsters are powerful and can bring hell to life if you don't behave properly... is something out of doubt.
But I am not sure if transmutation is in the list of their abilities...

I did exactly this in 1995. A little system tray app that you clicked to start, clicked to stop (the icon changed when running). Hover over it and it would show not only the total time but the £ earned! (I called it DoshClck - when written filenames were only 8 characters...). I later updated it in VB5 with a few added features, a right-click menu to adjust hourly rate. Later (with laptops!) a bit of a morale booster during boring meetings; a subtle mouseover would show how much dosh I'd earned just sitting there bored.
I still have the code but it's dependent on VB5 runtimes... The Win95 version, complete with installer for VB5 runtime, is available at https://codeproject.derektp.co.uk/doshclock95.zip[^]

1) because it will help develop your programming skills
2) because a 3rd. party app with the features you want may require purchase, and, if your app has other users, possibk=le licensing issues.

Whether self-knowledge implies the ability to consciously change behavior, rather than just predict it ... is an interesting question,

I've been programming about 40 years, I can create a C# main-windowless Win SystemTrayApp with toggling custom start-stop notify-icons, and, menu choices on right-click, in under 30 minutes ... adding a Timer, and serialization of on-off time data ... maybe another fifteen minutes.
