Mathematische Ausdrücke evaluieren, C#-Code zur Laufzeit compilieren

Einleitung

Das .NET-Framework bietet über das CodeDomProvider-Objekt eine Möglichkeit zur Laufzeit Sourcecode zu kompilieren und diesen auszuführen. Es kann somit auf elegante Art und Weise beliebiger Code, u.A. mathematische Ausdrücke im C#-Syntax, evaluiert werden. Die Klasse CCodeCompiler kompiliert eine zur Laufzeit in C# “geschriebene” Funktion (sbCode) und gibt deren Referenz für die Ausführung zurück. Die genaue Anwendung ist im unten stehenden Anwendungsbeispiel beschrieben.

Anwendungsbeispiel

Nachfolgend sind zwei Beispiele für die Anwendung von CCodeCompiler aufgezeigt. Folgender C#-Code wird dabei zur Laufzeit kompiliert und ausgeführt:

using System;
namespace Evaluated
{
    public class CalcContainer
    {
        public double Calc(double[] x)
        {
            double dResult = 0.0;
            dResult = x[0] + x[1];
            return dResult;
        }
    }
}

Im Beispiel 1 werden explizit die zu referenzierenden Assemblies mit vollständigem Pfad und Namen angegeben, im Beispiel 2 dagegen intern von der Funktion alle verfügbaren Assemblies automatisch eingeladen.

using Microsoft.CSharp;
using System.Reflection;
using System.CodeDom.Compiler;

// example 1
private void btnEvaluateRef_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    // the methodname
    string sMethodName = "Calc";

    // example code
    StringBuilder sbCode = new StringBuilder();
    sbCode.Append("        public double " + sMethodName + "(double[] x)" + Environment.NewLine);
    sbCode.Append("        {" + Environment.NewLine);
    sbCode.Append("            double dResult = 0.0;" + Environment.NewLine);
    sbCode.Append("            dResult = x[0] + x[1];" + Environment.NewLine);
    sbCode.Append("            return dResult;" + Environment.NewLine);
    sbCode.Append("        }" + Environment.NewLine);

    // reference one needed assembly for "Math" called "System"
    string[] saReferenceAssemblyDLLs = new string[1];
    saReferenceAssemblyDLLs[0] = @"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.dll"; // for "using System;"

    try
    {
        // create a codecompiler object
        CCodeCompiler rtc = new CCodeCompiler();

        // compile and create the Calc-Method
        if (rtc.CreateMethodRef(sbCode.ToString(), sMethodName, false, saReferenceAssemblyDLLs))
        {
            // reference to the method
            MethodInfo miMethod = rtc.MethodInfo;

            // some input values for test calculation
            double[] daX = new double[2];
            daX[0] = 1.2;
            daX[1] = 2.0;

            // call the compiled method with input values
            string sResult = miMethod.Invoke(Activator.CreateInstance(rtc.ContainerType), new object[] { daX } ).ToString();
        }
        else
        {
            // show compiler errors
            MessageBox.Show(rtc.CompilerErrors);
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ce)
    {
        // if there is a exception during execution, show it
        MessageBox.Show(ce.Message + Environment.NewLine + ce.StackTrace);

// example 2
private void btnEvaluateSimple_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

    // the methodname
    string sMethodName = "Calc";

    // example code
    StringBuilder sbCode = new StringBuilder();
    // some assembly references
    sbCode.Append("using System;" + Environment.NewLine);
    // include namespace
    sbCode.Append("namespace " + sNameSpace + Environment.NewLine);
    sbCode.Append("{" + Environment.NewLine);
    // include the class
    sbCode.Append("    public class " + sMethodName + "Container" + Environment.NewLine);

    sbCode.Append("            return dResult;" + Environment.NewLine);
    sbCode.Append("        }" + Environment.NewLine);
    sbCode.Append("    }" + Environment.NewLine);
    sbCode.Append("}" + Environment.NewLine);

    try
    {
        // create a codecompiler object
        CCodeCompiler rtc = new CCodeCompiler();

        // compile and create the Calc-Method without any assembly
        // these will be referenced all internally
        if (rtc.CreateMethodSimple(sbCode.ToString(), sNameSpace, sMethodName, false))
        {
            // reference to the method
            MethodInfo miMethod = rtc.MethodInfo;
