Type Generator for .NET

Provides functionality for generating .NET types and assemblies runtime.

Features

Generate types and assemblies from source code

Wrap delegates (System.Func and System.Action) inside new types

Wrap existing types inside new types

When wrapping delegates and types, the delegate and method parameters can be converted to constructor parameters and properties.

Note: The intendent use case is not proxy classes and the generated types don't inherit the original types.

Usage

Generating assembly from a source code

var code = @"public class MyClass
       {
           public void RunThings()
           {
               var y = 0;
               var a = 1;

               a = y + 10;
           }
       }";

var assembly = _generator.GenerateAssembly(code);

var type = assembly.GetExportedTypes().Single();

Generating wrapping type from a delegate

var converter = new DelegateToTypeConverter();

var type = converter.CreateType(new Func<int, bool>(i =>
{
    System.Console.WriteLine($"Hello from delegate. I is {i}");

    return true;
}));

dynamic instance = Activator.CreateInstance(type);
var result = instance.Run(25);
