.NET Framework Class Library
System.CodeDom Namespace

The System.CodeDom namespace contains classes that can be used to represent the elements and structure of a source code document. The classes in this namespace can be used to model the structure of a source code document that can be output as source code in a supported language using the functionality provided by the System.CodeDom.Compiler namespace.

For more information about using the CodeDOM to represent and generate source code, see Dynamic Source Code Generation and Compilation.

For a table that lists the CodeDOM elements by type and function, see the CodeDOM Quick Reference.
