Hosting the CLR (.Net)
I''ve been reading about hosting the CLR, and how to setup it and create domains, then load some .Net assemblies.
I also read a little bit about Reflection.Emit which I believe how you would hook-in a custom scripting language. I''m kinda lazy though, I would rather not go through all the trouble of making a custom compiler & language if I can just have clients use C#.
Is there anything in the framework to compile .cs source files? Or do you have to buy Visual Studio and use it''s compiler?
I see there''s a new VSA .Net SDK (comparable to the old VBA SDK), does anyone know how much this beast cost?
What are the viable options for integrating .Net scripting into a game (or other non-multi-billion dollar software)?
...
Ah cool, I was looking for this Friday:
NI Measurement Studio for .Net
I guess it''s kind-of a stupid question - I''m looking for a way to compile C# code without Visual Studio.
Everything I read about requires the end-user to buy a license for it.
Seems the simplest thing to do is make a Visual Studio .Net Add-In. The VSI/VSIP/VSA look like they cost a small fortune.

csc is free in the .NET SDK. If you want a free C# compiler written in C# that is Open Source check out www.go-mono.com
Magmai, take a look at this: http://sourcepost.sytes.net/sourcepost/sourceview.aspx?source_id=478. This is a class I wrote to use as a scripting engine in a project I am working on. It uses the Microsoft.*.Vsa namespaces to support JScript.NET as a scripting language. All these classes are in the framework, so theres no extra download. However, the documentation is sort of sparse.
I am sort of tired now, but the class should be fairly well commented. If you have any questions, just post them and I''ll take a look tomorrow.

System.CodeDom.Compiler.ICodeCompiler compiler = new Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider().CreateCompiler();System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerResults results;System.Reflection.Assembly compiledAsm;//this compiles from a string...results = compiler.CompileAssemblyFromSource(new System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters(), @"namespace test { public class myTest { public int Foo; } }");//results.Errors - all compile errors...//results.CompiledAssembly...if compilation is successful the assembly to late-bind tocompiledAsm = results.CompiledAssembly;//or this to compile from a fileresults = compiler.CompileAssemblyFromFile(new System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters(), @"C:\script.cs"); Epolevne

Sweet!
Now, if you could help me limp along here; I know you use #using to access .Net stuff in C++, but how do you figure out what to #use?
You have to have a #using <mscorlib.dll>, but what/where do I find what to add to access CodeDOM?
#using <System.CodeDOM.dll> doesn't work...
nor does #using <Microsoft.CSharp.dll> or #using <Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider.dll>
Ahh nevermind, it appears everything is brought in by #using <System.dll>

To answer this in general: READ THE DOCUMENTATION.
When I look at the description of a class, it tells me at the lower end of the page:
(a) which namespace the class resides in and
(b) which dll contains the class.
