How do I execute F# code from a string in a compiled F# program?

Are you looking for an Eval function?

If you read in your expressions into these kind of symbolic datastructures, they are pretty easy to evaluate.

If you really want dynamic compilation, you could do it with the F# CodeDom provider.
