Running VB code external to my application

[Max]

Hello,

I have written a VB.NET Windows application that will be
used by my customers to automate another application.

I want to allow my users to execute Visual Basic code
that they have written.

I know how to call an external compiled application
(executable) and run it.

Is it possible to call a VB code module that is external
to my compiled application?

Thank you for any help.

Best regards,

Max

Yes

It is called remoting.

Do a search for it. Microsoft has a very simple app for an example. I
forgot the exact page or else I would post it.

Save this code (source - if you mean it) to file, run compiler on it and
load resulting assembly as separate process or internal call - check
AppDomain and CodeDom namespaces for available functionality.

If clients will generate assemblies (dll or exe), you can use AppDomain and
Reflection fuctionality only to call methods.
