It's the same sort of deal:

• Compile the code, e.g. using CSharpCodeProvider
• Execute the code, e.g. using reflection

If you download Snippy from the C# in Depth web site, you can see a smallish example of this - basically you type in snippets of C# and it can compile and execute them for you.

That is ultimately a runtime feature; in MS .NET, CSharpCodeProvider is the closest you'll get at the moment, although they have mentioned possibly looking at the "compiler as a service" in the future.

If you're happy to use Mono, it already exists , with REPL example.

Usage (from here):

  // First setup the active using statements:
  Evaluator.Run ("using System;");

  Evaluator.Run ("Console.WriteLine (\"Hello, World\");
