Hiding Command Prompt with CodeDomProvider
- by j-t-s
Hi All
I've just got my own little custom c# compiler made, using the article from MSDN.
But, when I create a new Windows Forms application using my sample compiler, the MSDOS window also appears, and if I close the DOS window, my WinForms app closes too. How can I tell the Compiler? not to show the MSDOS window at all?
Thank you :)
Here's my code:
using System;
namespace JTS
{
public class CSCompiler
{
protected string ot,
rt,
ss, es;
protected bool rg, cg;
public string Compile(String se, String fe, String[] rdas, String[] fs, Boolean rn)
{
System.CodeDom.Compiler.CodeDomProvider CODEPROV = System.CodeDom.Compiler.CodeDomProvider.CreateProvider("CSharp");
ot =
fe;
System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters PARAMS = new System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters();
// Ensure the compiler generates an EXE file, not a DLL.
PARAMS.GenerateExecutable = true;
PARAMS.OutputAssembly = ot;
PARAMS.CompilerOptions = "/target:winexe"; PARAMS.ReferencedAssemblies.Add(typeof(System.Xml.Linq.Extensions).Assembly.Location);
PARAMS.LinkedResources.Add("this.ico");
foreach (String ay in rdas)
{
if (ay.Contains(".dll"))
PARAMS.ReferencedAssemblies.Add(ay);
else
{
string refd = ay;
refd = refd + ".dll";
PARAMS.ReferencedAssemblies.Add(refd);
}
}
System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerResults rs = CODEPROV.CompileAssemblyFromFile(PARAMS, fs);
if (rs.Errors.Count > 0)
{
foreach (System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerError COMERR in rs.Errors)
{
es = es +
"Line number: " + COMERR.Line +
", Error number: " + COMERR.ErrorNumber +
", '" + COMERR.ErrorText + ";" +
Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine;
}
}
else
{
// Compilation succeeded.
es = "Compilation Succeeded.";
if (rn) System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(ot);
}
return es;
}
}
}
