How to generate a C# class file from C# code behind?

Question

Is it possible to create a C# class ( classname.cs ) file at runtime and then use the class at runtime.

If it is, then how can I implement this?

Answer 1

Have a look at the CSharpCodeProvider class. There's a complete example on the MSDN page

Answer 2

Check out the classes in the namespace Microsoft.CSharp . The CSharpCodeProvider has a method CompileAssemblyFromSource which can generate an in-memory assembly from your source.

Answer 3

Please look Generate C# Class Library project programatically with given fields . Not sure what means by runtime. But you can create many classes just clicking save (run t4 template).
