The only way I know to do that is to send the code to the Microsoft
Scripting Control.

1 Write the text to a .cs file.
2 Call the C# compiler with the command line interface to compile the
..cs file
3 If the compile succeeded then run the .exe file the compiler
created.

To call another program from within a C# program use something like:

using (Process proc = Process.Start("progname.exe",
"prog parameters"))
{
proc.WaitForExit();
if(proc.ExitCode != 0) throw new Exception();
}

The Process class is in System.Diagnostics.
