create method to create exe based on another method
Hello, im trying to figure out how to create an exe file based on the click of a button in windows form for windows 8 in C#.net.
The exe file will basically call a method that already exists in the main.cs file and NOT to create a exe of the entire project. Can someone provide sample code? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Erm - are you asking how to code a compiler ?

A compiler for JUST the function call based on the click of a button.
For instance, there's a button on the main program, when triggered will generate a separate .exe file based on a specific method created in C#.

A compiler is still a compiler AND a lot of work.

You can dynamically compile, but I'm not sure it's going to be as simple as you hope it to be. Take a look at this example I wrote a while back and see if it is along the lines of what you are trying to accomplish.

I didnt realize it was that much work involved in trying to create a .exe file for a function call inside a program. Hmmmm!
You might want to rephrase/rethink your question.
Maybe starting the exe with a command line parameter is what you require.
