Question

i’m developing a simple C# Editor for one of my university courses and I need to send a .cs file to Compiler and collect errors (if they exist) and show them in my app. In other words i want to add a C# Compiler to my Editor. Is there anything like this for the debugger?

If you use the CodeDomProvider

using System.CodeDom; using System.CodeDom.Compiler; using Microsoft.CSharp;  // the compilation part  // change the parameters as you see fit CompilerParameters cp = CreateCompilerParameters();  var options = new System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string, string>(); if (/* you want to use the 3.5 compiler*/) {     options.Add('CompilerVersion', 'v3.5'); } var compiler = new CSharpCodeProvider(options); CompilerResults cr = compiler.CompileAssemblyFromFile(cp,filename); if (cr.Errors.HasErrors) {     foreach (CompilerError err in cr.Errors)     {         // do something with the error/warning      } }
