Does the .NET framework have any classes which allow you to run (compile, interpret or whatever) an external script file containing C# code?
For instance, if I have a file Hello.cs containing this:
class Hello
//This program displays Hello World
{
static public void Main()
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World");
}
}
how can i load the code above, from within a winform, app and execute it?
I'm interested in the load/execute logic; the program could be anything, from a console app to another winform app.
Does Reflection allow this?
You can perform "on-the-fly" compilation.
