That part was clear. What is unclear is what you mean by "create". Do you want to generate source code programatically? Or does the source code already exist and you just want to compile it? — Jason Watkins

Take a look at System.Reflection.Emit - that allows you to generate MSIL assemblies at runtime. Here are two starting points:
