A simplest/dumbest CSharp IDE
The tiny WPF app (14k) has a textbox allows the input of the C# code, it compiles the code and execute the code after press F5 key.
Here is what it looks like. No surprise.
The main part which compiles the code at runtime is using CSharpCodeProvider from Microsoft.CSharp namespace.
{
// set compiler version
var options = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{ “CompilerVersion”, “v3.5″ }
};
// init compiler
CodeDomProvider compiler = new CSharpCodeProvider(options);
// set the compilation params
var parameters = new CompilerParameters
{
WarningLevel = 4,
TreatWarningsAsErrors = false,
IncludeDebugInformation = true,
GenerateExecutable = true,
GenerateInMemory = false,
OutputAssembly = OutputAssemblyPath
};
// add referenced assemblies if any
if (references != null)
{
foreach (var path in references)
{
parameters.ReferencedAssemblies.Add(path);
}
}
// compiles and returnt the result
return compiler.CompileAssemblyFromSource(parameters, code);
}
At runtime, it gets translates to perform the following task (path is used as in my environment)
