Compile a ccs script file within c# application

Question

I have a script file(.ccs) with some functions that creates an excel file with data. How can I compile this file within a c# function? I also have to pass some parameters to it.

I can't find any information on the internet about it. This is the path to the file.

string ccsFile = "C:\\Templates\\myCCSFile.ccs";

Are you talking about CS-Script? There's information here about it: csscript.net — Baldrick

I can't find anything out about ccs scripts so I can't provide insight into the question as asked. That said, one way to create an excel file with C# is to use the COM automation library. You can find information about that here: support.microsoft.com/kb/302084 — drew_w

For CS script - the comment above will work - for C# you need to take a look at the CSharpCodeProvider - it generally looks like that:

CSharpCodeProvider codeProvider = new CSharpCodeProvider();
ICodeCompiler icc = codeProvider.CreateCompiler();

System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters parameters = new CompilerParameters();
parameters.GenerateExecutable = true;
parameters.OutputAssembly = Output;
CompilerResults results = icc.CompileAssemblyFromSource(parameters,SourceString);

The trick is to have some entry point afterward that you find and then invoke trough reflection.
