Running code

Hi,

How can I run the following c# code and get the result. I want to pass the the following .stl file and find the volume of it on page load event.

stl file:

using System.Collections.Generic;

        public double x; public double y; public double z;

        {
            if (args.Length != 2) return false;
            if (!Enum.TryParse<LengthType>(args[1], true, out _lengthType))
            {
                return false;
            }

            _filename = args[0];

            return File.Exists(_filename);
        }

                var b = bytes.Skip(48).Take(2);

                var l = _points.Count;
