Execute a string as code

Question

I wonder if there is some method of executing a string, or convert it to a code, example: "Console.WriteLine (\" Hello \ ")";

Equivalent to 'eval' in JavaScript.

I've translated it from Translate Google.

It is a bit more contrived then using eval in some languages, but it is certainly possible to programmatically compile code.

I wrote a tutorial on something very similar to this a few years ago - it is based on compiling though:

Hope that helps

You can try cshell: http://cshell.net/

It has a repl-based and executes c# code.

I haven't tried it myself, but it seems what you're looking for is easily feasible using Roslyn ( .Net compiler service )
Take a look at eval()-like for C# using Roslyn and ScriptCS and Hosted Execution of smaller code snippets with Roslyn
