  1. POIncluding C# files when compiling programmatically from a string
    text
    copied!<p>I was previously exporting CodeDOM CompilationUnits to files, and then reading those files back in to compile them using a CSharpCodeProvider. Today I refactored the code so that the CodeDOM is exported to a String:</p> <pre><code>public static string compileToString(CodeCompileUnit cu){ // Generate the code with the C# code provider. CSharpCodeProvider provider = new CSharpCodeProvider(); using (StringWriter sw = new StringWriter()) { IndentedTextWriter tw = new IndentedTextWriter(sw, " "); // Generate source code using the code provider. provider.GenerateCodeFromCompileUnit(cu, tw, new CodeGeneratorOptions()); tw.Close(); return sw.ToString (); } } </code></pre> <p>And then changed the compilation so that it uses CompileFromSource:</p> <pre><code>public static Assembly BuildAssemblyFromString(string code){ Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider provider = new CSharpCodeProvider(); ICodeCompiler compiler = provider.CreateCompiler(); CompilerParameters compilerparams = new CompilerParameters(); compilerparams.GenerateExecutable = false; compilerparams.GenerateInMemory = true; compilerparams.CompilerOptions = "/nowarn:162"; string[] files = new string[]{"TemplateAesthetic.cs"}; CompilerResults results = compiler.CompileAssemblyFromSource(compilerparams, code); if (results.Errors.HasErrors) { StringBuilder errors = new StringBuilder("Compiler Errors :\r\n"); foreach (CompilerError error in results.Errors ) { errors.AppendFormat("Line {0},{1}\t: {2}\n", error.Line, error.Column, error.ErrorText); Debug.Log (error.ErrorText); } } else { return results.CompiledAssembly; } return null; } </code></pre> <p>Thanks to Maarten for noticing: the problem is that I need to include a real file (TemplateAesthetic.cs) in the compilation process, but this compilation happens from a string. Can you do a mixed compilation in this way using CompileAssemblyFromSource?</p>
