Remarks

CodeCompiler is a useful utility base class for code generators to derive from in order to provide code compilation functions.

Note

This class contains a link demand and an inheritance demand at the class level that applies to all members. A SecurityException is thrown when either the immediate caller or the derived class does not have full-trust permission. For details about security demands, see Link Demands and Inheritance Demands.
