I want to execute dynamically created string in C#. I know VB and JScript.Net can do it, and there is even a way to use its assembly in C# as a workaround. I also found this article describing how to do it.
I read today about C# 4.0 features which bring it closer to the dynamic languages that have this as one of the main features. So, does anybody know does C# 4.0 includes some built in features that allows for string execution, or any other way to do whats described in the article above.
There’s no other way of executing arbitrary C# source code other than compiling it into assembly and then executing it. Anders Hejlsberg (architect of C#) announced plans to expose the C# compiler as a service (basically a set of CLR classes), so this might be of some help when this happens.
‘Compiler as a Service’ basically means that you can compile an arbitrary piece of code into Expression or, better yet, into an AST and generally get hold of internal compiler workings.
