For calling MS C# compiler there is CSharpCodeProvider (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.csharp.csharpcodeprovider.aspx)
but how do I call the Mono compiler?
I want to know if there was any errors after compilation.

btw, the best place to ask help about Mono is mailing lists mono-project.com/Mailing_Listsabatishchev– abatishchev2010-06-06 10:30:07 +00:00Commented Jun 6, 2010 at 10:30

Mono has a better approach available (which should be provided in .NET 5 probably),

I have not used Mono, but a quick Bing turned up the following Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider in the Mono documentation, is it possible that Mono implements the functionality targeting the Mono C# compiler.

Yep, it should be exactly the same. Don't change anything, just use Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider and Mono will do the right thing.
You should take a look at MonoDevelop. It's full featured IDE for the Mono project, speaking of C#, F# and others. You can create a project, generate the classes, paste your source and it'll take care of everything.
Speaking of the compiler:
It's called mcs if you exported mono to your PATH. man mcs/mcs --help.

mcs is non-generic C# compiler i.e. for .NET 1.x. gmcs is for 2.0+. It's better to man it

While abatishchev was 100% correct at the time, 'mcs' is now (as of Mono 2.10) a runtime independent version of the Mono compiler without these limitations. The old 'mcs' (which targeted the .NET 1.1 profile) has been retired.
Probably using Microsoft.CSharp.dll from Mono will call Mono's implementation of Microsoft C# compiler which is the same as Microsoft's.
To call Mono specific features of C# compiler use Mono.CSharp.dll
