I know that C# applications will require the .Net framework to execute on any given machine. However, I am curious, in order for CodeDom to work properly must Visual Studio also be installed on the computer the application is being run? I only ask because doesn’t CodeDom use a file that is part of the VS installation when producing files?
If you know of any other system requirements I would appreciate hearing about them.
No, using CodeDOM doesn’t require Visual Studio to be installed. It works fine without it.
And compiling code by yourself doesn’t require VS either. All you need is the C# compiler – csc.exe. And that is part of the .Net installation. When compiling source code to an assembly, CodeDOM actually invokes csc.exe.
