C# always has to be compiled, but there are classes available to let
you compile extra code into an assembly while your program is running.
See Snippy for a simple example of this: http://csharpindepth.com/Downloads..aspx

Hi

Try this one, Mini C# Lab. Very nice to have for just checking something.

In practice C# is a compiled language.

In theory it is possible to write a C# interpreter and
a few attempts can be found via Google:

In the real word you will pick another language for
interpretation.

http://www.codeplex.com/minicsharplab shows "build succeeded" in the
screen dump so I will assume that it compile !
