Question

I’m trying to do something that gets a cs file in runtime from user make it meaningful to assembly get its properties, methods etc.

Is there a way to do this by reflection in C#?

To compile a file on the fly you’ll need to do something along these lines (where sourceCode is a string containg the code to compile):

CodeDomProvider codeProvider = new CSharpCodeProvider(); ICodeCompiler compiler = codeProvider.CreateCompiler();  // add compiler parameters CompilerParameters compilerParams = new CompilerParameters(); compilerParams.CompilerOptions = '/target:library /optimize'; compilerParams.GenerateExecutable = false; compilerParams.GenerateInMemory = true;          compilerParams.IncludeDebugInformation = false; compilerParams.ReferencedAssemblies.Add('mscorlib.dll'); compilerParams.ReferencedAssemblies.Add('System.dll');  // compile the code CompilerResults results = compiler.CompileAssemblyFromSource(compilerParams, sourceCode);
