creating code on the fly at runtime

[gyoder]

what is the prefered method of creating a VB function or subroutine on the
fly at runtime. for example:

a user types in a function at runtime into a text field. then the user wants
to evaluate the function. the function may contain variables that the user
will enter just before execution. the function would be standard VB code. is
it possible to create VB code, build it and then execute it from within my
running VB program?

thanks

Gyoder,

In addition to Ken if some simple evalutation is important than you can as
well use this.
