CompilerResults Class

Represents the results of compilation that are returned from a compiler.

Namespace:  System.CodeDom.Compiler
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)

'Declaration
<SerializableAttribute> _
<PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Name := "FullTrust")> _
Public Class CompilerResults
'Usage
Dim instance As CompilerResults

This class contains the following information about the results of a compilation by an ICodeCompiler interface implementation:

  • The CompiledAssembly property indicates the compiled assembly.

  • The Evidence property indicates the security evidence for the assembly.

  • The PathToAssembly property indicates the path to the compiled assembly, if it was not generated only in memory.

  • The Errors property indicates any compiler errors and warnings.

  • The Output property contains the compiler output messages.

  • The NativeCompilerReturnValue property indicates result code value returned by the compiler.

  • The TempFiles property indicates the temporary files generated during compilation and linking.

NoteNote:

This class contains an inheritance demand at the class level that applies to all members. A SecurityException is thrown when the derived class does not have full-trust permission. For details about inheritance demands, see Inheritance Demands.
