Hello folks,

http://www.west-wind.com/weblog/posts/2007/May/13/DynamicMethod-from-C-code[^]

Is there any way to convert a string of code to a delegate now or is it still impossible?

You can...but I wouldn't.
Reflection.Emit can do what you ask for: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadfile/puranindia/reflection-and-reflection-emit-in-C-Sharp/[^]

However, it is a big security risk - depending on what your users can type, is what they can run:

C#

Process.Start(@"Format c: /Y");

and such like would be rather nasty...

If you want to evaluate expressions they type, they why not use this: Math Parser .NET C#[^]

Are you looking for DynamicLinq[^]?
Or you might have a look at my article about Invent your own Dynamic LINQ parser[^]. Both convert some "expression" text into a lambda expression that can be used e.g. in linq expressions.

If you look for something more elaborate that goes beyond expressions, you might have to look into MSDN: System.CodeDom.Compiler Namespace[^].
