I am currently using VS2022, and I am reading the text file, which is a C# code in that.

I want to convert the txt file to a C# compiler code.

What I have tried:

C#

string src =
@"using System;

        namespace Test{
          public class TestClass {

            public TestClass() {}
          }
        }";

        CSharpCodeProvider provider = new CSharpCodeProvider();

        CompilerParameters cp = new CompilerParameters();
        cp.GenerateInMemory = true;
                    cp.GenerateExecutable = false;
                    //cp.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.dll");
                    CompilerResults cr = 
                    provider.CompileAssemblyFromSource(cp, src);
                    if (cr.Errors.Count > 0)
                    {
                        foreach (CompilerError ce in cr.Errors)
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine(ce.ErrorText);
                        }
}
                    else
{
    Type t = cr.CompiledAssembly.GetType("Test.TestClass");
    object o = Activator.CreateInstance(t);
}

And?

You seem to have forgotten to ask a question.

Click the green "Improve question" link and update your question to explain precisely what the problem is, what you have tried, and where you are stuck. Include the full details of any errors.

Your sample code to compile has no actual code in it, so I'd start there with whatever problem you're not describing in your question.

Rename it.

Just remove the first line and the @" at the beginning of the second line, and the "; at the end of line 9. You can then rename the file to whatever source name you need, and compile it.
The final text should be:

C#

using System;

        namespace Test{
          public class TestClass {

            public TestClass() {}
          }
        }

        CSharpCodeProvider provider = new CSharpCodeProvider();

        CompilerParameters cp = new CompilerParameters();
        cp.GenerateInMemory = true;
                    cp.GenerateExecutable = false;
                    //cp.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.dll");
                    CompilerResults cr = 
                    provider.CompileAssemblyFromSource(cp, src);
                    if (cr.Errors.Count > 0)
                    {
                        foreach (CompilerError ce in cr.Errors)
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine(ce.ErrorText);
                        }
}
                    else
{
    Type t = cr.CompiledAssembly.GetType("Test.TestClass");
    object o = Activator.CreateInstance(t);
}
