I was thinking of making a program that generates an executable which installs an application, but how to generate the executable?
In order to use this function, you must using these two classes:
Once you have that done, you're good to go! As a quick example, you can create a textarea named txt_code, a textbox named txt_output, and a button btn_submit. When btn_submit is clicked, then it will say:
Compile(txt_output.Text, txt_code.Text);
Which if you put a valid path in txt_output, and valid C# code in txt_code, then you will have your executable!

public static void Compile(String Output, String code)
{
CodeDomProvider codeProvider = CodeDomProvider.CreateProvider("CSharp");
CompilerParameters parameters = new CompilerParameters();
//Make sure we generate an EXE, not a DLL
parameters.GenerateExecutable = true;
parameters.OutputAssembly = Output;
CompilerResults results = codeProvider.CompileAssemblyFromSource(parameters, code);
if (results.Errors.Count > 0)
{
foreach (CompilerError CompErr in results.Errors)
{
Debug.WriteLine(
"Line number " + CompErr.Line +
", Error Number: " + CompErr.ErrorNumber +
", '" + CompErr.ErrorText + ";" +
Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine);
}
}
else
{
Debug.WriteLine("Success!");
}
}In order to use this function, you must using these two classes:
using System.CodeDom.Compiler; using System.Diagnostics;
