Good morning,

I am trying to compile a DLL on the fly using ICodeCompiler. While I am
able to accomplish the task if I use a seperate code file along with
CompileAssemblyFromFile, however, when I try to embed the source code and
use CompileAssemblyFromSource, the DLL does not get created. Does anyone
have any ideas what might be causing this? BTW, no exceptions are being
thrown, it just doesn't create the DLL.

Below please find the source code:

        Public Shared Sub createTest()
            Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder
            Dim provider As Microsoft.VisualBasic.VBCodeProvider
            Dim compiler As System.CodeDom.Compiler.ICodeCompiler
            Dim cp As System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters
            Dim results As System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerResults

            With sb
                .Append("Namespace test")
                .Append(vbCrLf)
                .Append(" Public Class tSource")
                .Append(vbCrLf)
                .Append(" End Class")
                .Append(vbCrLf)
                .Append("End Namespace")
            End With
            cp = New System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters
            cp.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.dll")
            cp.GenerateExecutable = False
            cp.GenerateInMemory = False
            cp.OutputAssembly = "D:\learnNET\bin\test.dll"

            Try
                provider = New Microsoft.VisualBasic.VBCodeProvider
                compiler = provider.CreateCompiler
                results = compiler.CompileAssemblyFromSource(cp,
sb.ToString)
                sStatus = "test.dll created successfully"
            Catch ex As Exception
                sStatus = ex.Message
            End Try
        End Sub
