Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I can run vb.net or C# code from a text document?

I want to have a smart client (compiled) and I want that smart client to
write to a text file and execute the code from that file.

I’ve seen an example of this somewhere; I think you have to bring in a
namespace to compile that code at runtime.

If someone can show me a Hello world app that would be great.

Thanks,

André

Have you looked at CodeDom?

No, but this looks interesting. I think what i'm looking for is more like,
i'll click a button, and the app runs the code in a file.

I want to be able to run code like this:

if x=1 then do something

but I want to be able to make it dynamic, adding another if statement when
ever i want. I would want to run the code like a database stored procedure
and be able to alter the code when I want.

Is this Codedom what I’m looking for?

tks

Not to pinp my own articles, BUT i've got an example of using the CodeDom to
execute code from a text document.
