How can I evaluate a C# expression dynamically?

Let me describe my issue in an example. There is a string variable in my program:

string func = @"
void printHello()
{
    Console.WriteLine(""Hello world!"");
}
";

Is there any method to let me call this printHello function?

Thanks for any replies.

You need a `\ ` in order to continue a string in a new line. But a `"\n"` will not be included. — Alvin Wong, Jul 21 '12 at 16:02
And why would you like to write your own code inside a string??? — Alvin Wong, Jul 21 '12 at 16:04

Look at the CS-Script, it's a open source C# Script execution engine

You can dynamically create and execute code using CodeDomProvider.
