Dynamic code generation

To add to my previous post CodeDom extensions and dynamic LINQ. I’d like to mentions that the same technique can be used to generate/emit a valid compliable code.

Fore example the following snippet:

   1: var c = new CodeDom();

   2: c.AddNamespace("Samples").Imports("System")

   3:     .AddClass(

   4:       c.Class("TestClass")

   5:         .AddMethod(c.Method("PrintTest", "Console.WriteLine(\"Hello world !\");")));

   6: 

   7: string s = c.GenerateCode();

will generate the following code, which, at the end, can be written to a file or compiled in-memory:

   1: //------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   2: // <auto-generated>

   3: //     This code was generated by a tool.

   4: //     Runtime Version:2.0.50727.1433

   5: //

   6: //     Changes to this file may cause incorrect behavior and will be lost if

   7: //     the code is regenerated.

   8: // </auto-generated>

   9: //------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  10: 

  11: namespace Samples {

  12:     using System;

  13:

  14:

  15:     public class TestClass

  16:     {

  17:         public static void PrintTest()

  18:         {

  19:             Console.WriteLine(\"Hello world!\");

  20:         }

  21:     }

  22: }

So, unleash your imagination!
