Question

using CodeDOM I was able to compile the source code I had written in a separate file:

    CompilerResults results = codeCompiler.CompileAssemblyFromFile(parameters, @"C:\MyScript.cs");
    results.CompiledAssembly.GetType("Script").GetMethod("Main").Invoke(null, null);

Is there a way that instead of reading that source code from a file – MyScript.cs – so I can just put a rich text box on the form and place the code in that?

Answer 1

Look at the documentation of CSharpCodeProvider: it contains a method CompileAssemblyFromSource() that takes one or more strings that contain the code to compile.

So, your code could look like:

CompilerResults results = codeCompiler.CompileAssemblyFromSource(
    parameters, codeFromTextBox);
