How to pass a reference to a form to dynamically compiled code
I am trying to create a application scripting environment for my VB .Net application. I have a form type in the application called Project. What I want to do is dynamically compile (i.e Eval) VB .Net code on a Project form. This dynamic code always has a Main function. One of the arguments to Main is a reference to the calling Project form. Here is the Eval code:
Public Function Eval(ByVal vbCode As String, ByRef MyAssembly As System.Reflection.Assembly, ByRef ProjectForm As Project) As ArrayList
Dim Provider As VBCodeProvider = CodeDomProvider.CreateProvider("VisualBasic")
Dim CompParams As CompilerParameters = New CompilerParameters
Dim CResult As CompilerResults
Dim EvalAssy As System.Reflection.Assembly
Dim InstanceObject As Object
Dim InstanceType As Type
Dim InstanceMI As MethodInfo
Dim CompError As CompilerError
Dim NumberOfErrors As Integer = 0
Dim ReturnValues As New ArrayList
Dim SkipAssembly As Boolean = False
Dim DebugTextBox As TextBox = ProjectForm.CompilationErrors
Dim DebugFilename As String = ProjectForm.DebugFile
Dim StatusBar As ToolStripStatusLabel = ProjectForm.MyMainForm.MessageToolStripStatusLabel
'Result = MsgBox("HMMM: " & CodeDomProvider.IsDefinedLanguage("VisualBasic").ToString(), MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly + MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, "HMMM")
If Not DebugTextBox Is Nothing Then
DebugTextBox.Text &= "Running Eval On Assembly """ & MyAssembly.FullName & """." & vbCrLf
End If
CompParams.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("system.dll")
CompParams.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("system.xml.dll")
CompParams.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("system.data.dll")
CompParams.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.Windows.Forms.dll")
' Pass Myself In
CompParams.ReferencedAssemblies.Add(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location)
CompParams.CompilerOptions = "/t:library"
CompParams.GenerateInMemory = True
CResult = Provider.CompileAssemblyFromSource(CompParams, vbCode)
For Each CompError In CResult.Errors
If Not CompError.IsWarning Then
' "Real Error"
NumberOfErrors += 1
End If
ReturnValues.Add("Error " & CompError.ErrorNumber & " On Line " & CompError.Line & ": " & CompError.ErrorText)
Next
If NumberOfErrors = 0 Then
Try
EvalAssy = CResult.CompiledAssembly
InstanceObject = EvalAssy.CreateInstance("Translation")
InstanceType = InstanceObject.GetType()
InstanceMI = InstanceType.GetMethod("Main")
InstanceMI.Invoke(InstanceObject, New Object() {MyAssembly, ProjectForm})
'InstanceMI.Invoke(InstanceObject, BindingFlags.Default, Nothing, New Object() {MyAssembly, ProjectForm}, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture)
Catch Ex As Exception
If Ex.InnerException Is Nothing Then
WriteDebugMsg(DebugTextBox, "Error Evaling Compiled Code. The Error Is """ & Ex.Message)
Else
WriteDebugMsg(DebugTextBox, "Error Evaling Compiled Code. The Error Is:" & vbCrLf & Ex.Message & vbCrLf & "Inner Exception Is:" & vbCrLf & Ex.InnerException.ToString)
End If
End Try
End If
Return ReturnValues
End Function
The Main function in the dynamic (Eval) code is:
Imports System
Imports System.Xml
Imports System.Data
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Reflection
Imports System.Diagnostics
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports System.Collections
Imports System.Text
Imports UniversalTranslator
Public Sub Main(ByRef MyAssembly As System.Reflection.Assembly, ByRef MyProjectForm As Project)
' Create functions needed to parse assembly here and in subroutines called from here
Me.ProjectForm = MyProjectForm
DebugFile = ProjectForm.DebugFile ' Set Global Debug Filename Variable
DebugTB = ProjectForm.CompilationErrors
' Initialize Log Fi开发者_如何学运维les And Debug Textboxes
If Dir(DebugFile,FileAttribute.Normal) > "" Then
Kill(DebugFile)
End If
If Not DebugTB is Nothing Then
DebugTB.Text = ""
end if
RecurseAssemblyForms(MyAssembly,AddressOf OutputControlInfo)
End Sub
Everything is compiling fine. The compiled code recognizes the MyProjectForm as type Project from the calling assembly. However, when the code is executed with a reference to a calling assembly project form I get the following error:
Running Eval On Assembly "LaserTrak V4 Software, Version=4.507.3992.19399, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null". Error Evaling Compiled Code. The Error Is: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. Inner Exception Is: System.MissingMemberException: Public member 'CompilationErrors' on type 'Project' not found. at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Symbols.Container.GetMembers(String& MemberName, Boolean ReportErrors) at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.NewLateBinding.LateGet(Object Instance, Type Type, String MemberName, Object[] Arguments, String[] ArgumentNames, Type[] TypeArguments, Boolean[] CopyBack) at Translation.Main(Assembly& MyAssembly, Project& MyProjectForm)
My guess is that the Main procedure does not have "trusted" access to the calling assemblies active Project forms. How do I give it that access? Thanks for you help.
I'm guessing CompilationErrors is not a public member? Is it a Friend? Or Private? Or Protected?
If it's a Friend member, you could use the InternalsVisibleToAttribute, but otherwise, you will not be able to access it this way.
If you were using C# 4.0, you could hypothetically use a DynamicObject that permits private member access...but that's another story...
CompilationErrors is a textbox on the Project form. I forgot to set its Modifiers property to Public because I am an idiot ;-).
