Provide VB.Net Inside App

[Derek Hart]

I want to be able to provide a vb.net programming ability in side my
application. The application is a tool that allows users to design screens.
They may not have full Visual Studio. I know there is a free version of
Visual Studio I could use. But I need to be able to allow the user to write
vb.net code, and there will be a reference to my DLL so they can use the
interfaces inside the application. But how do I save these code fragments,
and use them in the application. Do I have to somehow give the users the
ability to make a new assembly? A lot more questions... but where do I
start?

It's definitely possible, but it is a little tricky.

Here are a couple of links that will get you started:
