Hello,

I need to use Csharp compiler and an interpretor. In my application user
will use the application and application will write CSharp code on backend.
But now i don't need to reinvent the wheel, just need to know how i can give
user an option to build the project which will compile and make an
executable file.

thanks.

Check out the Microsoft.CSharp.Compiler class.

Yeah i looked on msdn, is their any implementation sample for it. Like for
basic idea i found this article:

But it didn't compile windows form and other controls.

Thanks.

Hi,

You'll have to specify parameters.ReferencedAssemblies to let compiler knows
which assemblies you reference in your code.

Where to reference that dll, as i'm just using this code. Any sample...Here
is the concept code that i saw from the url:

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
CSharpCodeProvider codeProvider = new CSharpCodeProvider();
ICodeCompiler icc = codeProvider.CreateCompiler();
string Output = "Output.exe";
Button ButtonObject = (Button) sender;

textBox2.Text = "";
System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters parameters = new
CompilerParameters();
//Make sure we generate an EXE, not a DLL
parameters.GenerateExecutable = true;
parameters.OutputAssembly = Output;
CompilerResults results =
icc.CompileAssemblyFromSource(parameters,textBox1.Text);

if (results.Errors.Count > 0)
{
textBox2.ForeColor = Color.Red;
foreach(CompilerError CompErr in results.Errors)
{
textBox2.Text = textBox2.Text +
"Line number " + CompErr.Line +
", Error Number: " + CompErr.ErrorNumber +
", '" + CompErr.ErrorText + ";" +
Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine;
}
}
else
{
//Successful Compile
textBox2.ForeColor = Color.Blue;
textBox2.Text = "Success!";
//If we clicked run then launch our EXE
if (ButtonObject.Text == "Run") Process.Start(Output);
}

Did you reference System.Windows.Forms.dll?

I found the solution.

I just added:

parameters.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.dll");

parameters.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.Drawing.dll");

parameters.ReferencedAssemblies.Add"System.Windows.Forms.dll");

It works fine. But it always loads from command prompt. How to handle that.
I just need to pass C# code to compiler and generate executable in such a
way that no process can be seen.

Thanks.

parameters.CompilerOptions = "/target:winexe";

Not tested, but should work.

What to do for multiple files. Like if i have 3 class files at different
places and they all are using objects of each others....what will be the
parameter.....

Thanks.
