Access UnityScript compiler with CodeDomProvider

Questions & Answers
1

Hello again,

In addition to this question I have another,
but due to the complexity I thought I would split them up.

After writing some code using .NET’s CodeDom and the compiler, I was able to load C# assemblies from files at runtime:

//Create provider
var provider:CodeDomProvider = new CodeDomProvider.CreateProvider("CSharp");
//Compile C# file at path, with params as compiler parameters
var results:CompilerResults = provider.CompileAssemblyFromFile(params, path);

//return the compiled assembly
return results.CompiledAssembly;

Now thats all good and working, but I was wondering whether I could use the same method to compile UnityScript files.
I have tried using "UScript", "JScript" and "UnityScript". Does the UnityScript compiler even integrate into CodeDom?

Thank you,

Hello,

Once again answering my own question.

UnityScript doesn’t get directly compiled. It actually gets translated to Boo and is then compiled using the Boo compiler.

So no, there isn’t even a proper UnityScript compiler.

Hope this helps,
