Is there any way that code stored as a variable in vb can be executed?

[JSLyndon]

I want to be able to store my code for a program in a text file or store it as a string in a variable and use a function to execute that code. If anyone knows a way to do this or something similar it would be a great help. Thanks

If you are talking about something like batch-file code, or perl or PHP code you can write out as necessary and then call it so that an installed interpreter can "run" it - then yes. Just write it out to a file (with appropriate extension then call it like you would any external program.
Example:

Dim proc As New System.Diagnostics.Process()

proc = Process.Start("d:\windows\mybatfile.bat", "")

If, however, you are talking about more vb.net code that would be part of your compiled program - then no. I do not know of any way this can be done - and doubt if it would even be possible.
I would be curious as to your use-case for this unconventional maneuver?

It is possible to compile VB Code and run the code in memory or compile the code to an exe file and then run it from a string containing the code in your application.

However, i would also be interested in the use of this a bit more before i explain any further.
