  • Evaluate() - Evaluate an expression from a code string
  • ExecuteMethod() - Execute one or more methods from source
  • CompileClass() - Generate a class instance from C# code

Supported features

  • Ability to compile entire classes and execute them
  • Automatic Assembly Cleanup at shutdown
  • Use Roslyn or Classic C# compiler interchangeably
