C# calling code from file

Question

Is it possible to call my c# code from a file? The application should be able to scan through the lines in my file and execute the code inside.

Suppose I have the following method in my application:

public void ShowMsg(String msg) 
{
     MessageBox.Show(msg);
}

and the line ShowMsg("Hello") in my file.

I want my application to be able to read the code from file and in the end it should display a message box with the string "Hello". But of course what I'm trying to achieve is way more complicated than simply displaying a message box to the user.

Maybe this can help stackoverflow.com/questions/12118077/… — L.B

Here's a tutorial on compiling and executing code at run-time. It should do what you need.

It is possible, there is an API for it actually.

So here is a link to how you would do it, straight from stackoverflow: Is it possible to dynamically compile and execute C# code fragments?
