[Mono-list] CSharpCodeProvider

[Aaron Oxford]

Perhaps the title of my post was misleading. I am not sure of the details 
myself. Using Microsoft's gear under Windows, I can take a string that 
contains a C# class and produce a class at runtime. I can go straight from 
a string of code to an object that extends a base class in my main project 
and then use it as if it were compiled with the main code.

Are you saying that I could perhaps compile a .SO file and read it back in 
as an assembly as a work-around for Mono/Linux? I'm going to modularise the 
project to allow rewriting of platform/devenv dependent parts such as sound 
and GUI so if there is a simple workaround that will be more than sufficient.
