CHINTALA Jyostna D 1

Hi, i have a requirement where my tool(target .NET4.6.1 Framework) supports CodeSnippet (C#) Compilation.

Currently we use, Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp for the same.

Could you please suggest what can be used to make this codesnippet compilations and executions to work in Linux and MAC

@CHINTALA Jyostna D , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, based on your description, I need to confirm some questions with you.

First, Do you mean that you want to use visual studio code-snippets in your Linx or MAC environment?

Second, What is the relationship between Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp and CodeSnippet?

We have a tool which allows user to write some C# code compile it and execute it.

So for compilation below code is used... sorry its Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider

     using (Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider foo =  
                  new Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider())  
                 {  
                     result = foo.CompileAssemblyFromSource(  
                       new CompilerParameters(snippetInfo.References.ToArray())  
                       {  
                           GenerateInMemory = true  
                       },  
                       codeToExecute  
                    );  
                 }

Now that the tool is being migrated to linux and mac can i find any .net core alternatives for Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider

@CHINTALA Jyostna D , thanks for the feedback, based on my search, I find that somebody has asked the question in StackOveflow. The answer to the question is that we need to use roslyn instead.

Hope the above link could help you.

Best Regards,
Jack
