Can I compile Multiple classes into one program with CodeDom?

Question

Now this has been bugging me for ages and it's time to find out if it's possible. I currently have a working CodeDom that can compile one class, but I have created a program with multiple classes that I want to compile with CodeDom. I've tried looking here: CodeDom - Linking multiple classes within a single Assembly ^ No help... and here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.codedom.compiler.compilerparameters.aspx ^ Not much help...

So, is this possible? And if so, how specifically do I do it? How can I link my classes together and compile?

At the top of the CodeDOM tree, there is CodeCompileUnit, which is roughly equivalent to a single C# source code file. When you use CompileAssemblyFromDom() to compile, it actually takes a collection of CodeCompileUnits. This means you can easily compile multiple classes at once: just create a separate CodeCompileUnit for each of them.

But that's not the only option, CodeCompileUnit (just like a C# file) can contain multiple class declarations (indirectly through CodeNamespace), so you could use that instead.
