How to programmatically parse and modify C# code

Question

What I want to do is to read C# code, parse it, insert some method calls and compile it finally.

Is it possible to convert C# source code (a list of strings) to Code

Answer 1

It is not directly possible to do this with the core .NET Framework. You need to use third party or add-on tools, for example:

• Open source C# Parser: http://www.codeplex.com/csparser
• GPLEX paired with a C# grammar: http://plas.fit.qut.edu.au/gplex/
