I have a project in visual studio 2013, using vb.net and I'd like to know how to import code directly from a text file and run it as code in the program.

I know this seems odd but it needs to be this way. Also I can't use a string builder and as i'm using vs it has a compiler built in.

Any help is appreciated

thanks in advance.

  • Have a look at this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4181668/execute-c-sharp-code-at-runtime-from-code-file it's in c# but should be easy enough to convert to VB.NET – JaggenSWE May 19 '16 at 11:41
  • thanks but I'm really not good at converting this sort of stuff so an answer in VB.net itself would be better. – Joshua Thomas May 19 '16 at 11:45

  • Sorry I should have said this at the start, I don't want to use a string builder and vs already has a complier built in. But thanks for the help regardless. – Joshua Thomas May 20 '16 at 08:18

  1. Open the text file in notepad
  2. Create a new solution or open a .vb file in Visual Studio
  3. If you create a new forms solution, press F7 to switch to code view
  4. Copy and paste the code from Notepad into the code editor
  5. Run it and the code is auto-saved.

Why don't you let us see your code?
