Create c# functions after the project has been compiled [duplicate]

Question

I am curious as to if this is even possible. Is it possible to create a c# exe project with a rich text box that if I typed in for example

public void TestFunction(){
    MessageBox.Show("test");
};

that it would execute the code and build the function? I don't know if this makes sense. It was just one of those little questions that I had today and I don't know where to find the answer or what it is even called.

@ByteBlast Confused why you linked to exactly the same question I did, seven minutes later... O_o — cdhowie

So basically you want to write an interpreter and compiler.

Yeah those sort of things exist, that's how your code works.

Otherwise there are the Reflection classes built into C# which might work for some small stuff.

Certainly possible using reflection but it is a lot of hard work...
