hey ...
i used this code to compile a source in run time.

C#

 Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider cscp = new Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider();
 System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters cp = new System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters();

cp.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.dll");
cp.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("AxInterop.MSTSCLib.dll");
cp.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("Microsoft.CSharp.dll");
cp.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("Interop.MSTSCLib.dll");
cp.GenerateInMemory = false;
cp.GenerateExecutable = true;
cp.OutputAssembly = "chilProgram.exe";
System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerResults cr = cscp.CompileAssemblyFromSource(cp,"SomeCodeToCompile");

everything is good , but when i run the child program it will give me this error for activex control named "Interop.MSTSCLib.dll" :

HTML

Unhandled exception : System.BadImageFormatException : Could not load file or assembly 'Interop.MSTSCLIP, Version=1.0.0.0 ,Culture neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

what is the problem? is it possible problem be about PublicKeyToken=null? or adding a activex control to references has another way?
<edit> i have new error i cant invoke any property in the dll
very thanks!

Hello,

BadImageFormatException usually means 64 vs 32 bit conflict. Check whether all of the assemblies are set to a particular format. This error can also occurr if you're calling a COM or a DLL which is compiled for different platform, for example you call 32 bit COM/DLL from an assembly on a 64 bit system where assembly's platform would default to x64.

Regards,

There are other reasons as well. Please go though this article (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.badimageformatexception(v=vs.110).aspx).
