Hi i want to make program that can change itself by reading from txt file some people told me that i can learn it from here http://flee.codeplex.com/ but i did'nt understand how to do what i want from there i want to do something like that
the txt file will have this written in it:

process.start("someproecess");

and that what the program will do
how can i do it?

If it is fully compilable text, look at CompileAssemblyFromSource(): http://msdn.microsof...fromsource.aspx

If not, then you'll have to use the rest of the CodeDomProvider methods to put together what you need. An alternative is to use Expression Trees: http://msdn.microsof...y/bb397951.aspx

Of course, none of those will be modifying the currently running code. In general, self modifying code is looked down upon. If you really want self modifying code, then you'll need to take advantage of the CodeDomProvider to read your code in, modify the DOM, regenerate source code based on the modifications, and then schedule your code to be recompiled and re-run.

But how can i do it with the eval function like here http://www.codeproje...e-Eval-Function

i tried the code but it does'nt work at my computer

Having a program modify/re-write itself is a fairly advanced topic.
You're obviously not an advanced coder.
So my first thought is "Why?" What is it you are trying to build? Most likely there is a better approach, more in line with your skills. Not to mention this could just as easily be used to bypass anti-virus programs. Your code could be innocent and the text file would contain the virus code to be added latter and we don't help with malicious code.
