How to compile code Entered by the user?

问题

I need to make a simple vb.net program that runs a piece of code entered by the user (also in vb.net). But I need my program to compile and run it.

Anyone have an idea on how to do this?

回答1:

I actually wrote a blog post (link below) about this several years ago. The below example is from 2010, and there may be better methods to solve this problem today. More explanation can be found in the code comments.

Essentially:

Read the code from the file.
Create an instance of a VB.NET CodeProvider
Create compiler parameters and pass them to the compiler
Compile the code
Check for errors
Create an instance of the class containing the code
Create arguments to pass to our compiled code
Execute the code and see results

An example of this being utilized to execute code in a text file and displaying a result in a TextBox is below, but could easily be used to parse code from a Textbox. (more info at vbCity Blog):

Includes:

Imports System.IO   
Imports System.Reflection   
Imports System.CodeDom   
Imports System.CodeDom.Compiler   
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic

Code:

' Read code from file
Dim input = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("Code.txt")

' Create "code" literal to pass to the compiler.
'
' Notice the <% = input % > where the code read from the text file (Code.txt) 
' is inserted into the code fragment.
Dim code = <code>
               Imports System
               Imports System.Windows.Forms

               Public Class TempClass
                   Public Sub UpdateText(ByVal txtOutput As TextBox)
                       <%= input %>
                   End Sub
               End Class
           </code>

' Create the VB.NET Code Provider.
Dim vbProv = New VBCodeProvider()
' Create parameters to pass to the compiler.
Dim vbParams = New CompilerParameters()
' Add referenced assemblies.
vbParams.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("mscorlib.dll")
vbParams.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.dll")
vbParams.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.Windows.Forms.dll")
vbParams.GenerateExecutable = False
' Ensure we generate an assembly in memory and not as a physical file.
vbParams.GenerateInMemory = True

' Compile the code and get the compiler results (contains errors, etc.)
Dim compResults = vbProv.CompileAssemblyFromSource(vbParams, code.Value)

' Check for compile errors
If compResults.Errors.Count > 0 Then

    ' Show each error.
    For Each er In compResults.Errors
        MessageBox.Show(er.ToString())
    Next

Else

    ' Create instance of the temporary compiled class.
    Dim obj As Object = compResults.CompiledAssembly.CreateInstance("TempClass")
    ' An array of object that represent the arguments to be passed to our method (UpdateText).
    Dim args() As Object = {Me.txtOutput}
    ' Execute the method by passing the method name and arguments.
    Dim t As Type = obj.GetType().InvokeMember("UpdateText", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, Nothing, obj, args)

End If
