Re: Urgent pls -script engine

Here is something I was playing with that will compile code contained in a
file into an in-memory assembly:

        public class AssemblyGenerator
        {
                public Assembly GenerateInMemoryAssembly(string codeFile)
                {
                        ICodeCompiler icc = (new
CSharpCodeProvider()).CreateCompiler();
                        CompilerParameters cp = new CompilerParameters();
                        cp.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("system.dll");
                        cp.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("codegenbase.dll");
                        cp.GenerateInMemory = true;

                        StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(codeFile);
                        string source = reader.ReadToEnd();
                        reader.Close();

                        CompilerResults cr =
icc.CompileAssemblyFromSource(cp, source);
                        return cr.CompiledAssembly;
                }
        }

        public class App
        {
                public static void Main()
                {
                        AssemblyGenerator ag = new AssemblyGenerator();
                        Assembly assem =
ag.GenerateInMemoryAssembly("test.cs");
                        CodeGenBase cgb = (CodeGenBase)
assem.CreateInstance("Test.TestObj");
                        cgb.SayHello();
                }
        }

The base class that TestObj derives from looks like this:

        public class CodeGenBase
        {
                public virtual void SayHello()
                {
                        Console.WriteLine("Hello from {0}",
this.ToString());
                }
        }

Hope that helps...
