C# Compiler in C?

Is there a way of compiling C# code in C? I can do it in C#, but I'm not sure about how to do it, if you even can do it in C. Thanks :)

Note: Preferably C# (.NET)

You can load CLR into your process (it's a COM component), create the needed objects/interfaces from Sytem.CodeDOM namespace and use them. But that's tedious, and I wouldn't recommend it.

Just call csc.exe from your program.

C# code will be executed under CLR( Common Language Runtime Engine) hence it is called ManagedCode. CLR creates proper execution environment for C# code to run properly. C Code is called UnManaged Code as it does not run under CLR. hence C# code can not be compiled in C.

No I dont think thats possible unless you are trying to prepare some compilers.
