How to run a string command that is a using decorator pattern

Question

I have a piece of code that produces the following output

new tutor(new lecturer(new coursecoordinator()))

I need a way to allow c# to execute this as a string however after searching I have not been able to find any examples that relate to string such as these. Any ideas as to the best way of approaching this would be appreciated.

Or use the Roslyn scripting API. Which might be more fitting if you don't feel like "manually" wrapping it in a class/namespace. — RoyalPotato, Apr 09 '16 at 03:39

If I understand correctly, then you should be able to do it via the implicit operator overload. Here it is on MSDN

//To use, put in the "tutor" class.
public static implicit operator string(tutor t)
{
    //return the tutor object, in string form.
    //For the example, I just return the .ToString() function found on all objects.
    return t.ToString();
}

This will let you seamlessly use the statement "new tutor(new lecturer(new coursecoordinator()))" as a string. EDIT: I think I misunderstood, perhaps this answer will help a passer-by anyway.
