End-User Code Modules

[TheLeeMan]

Hello -

I am working on a project where I would like a user to create modules which the program would use to control aspects of the program.

I have seen this done before in C++ programs but never in VB. In the other programs the code was placed in an ASCII file and the program was able to use it to control the progams AI in a game enviroment.

I would like to be able to provide this type of functionality in my application. I know it would be possible to create a few sub-procedures to open the ASCII file and scan through it decifering the code line-by-line and running the appropriate tasks (aka building my own compiler) but this is more time-consuming then I really want and would make providing the functionalitiy I am looking for very difficult.

Does anyone have any ideas of how this may be achieved? Thank you.

I think this is quite easy in java, it's very hard in VB, you have to decyfer the code yourself, there's a component you can buy which costs about £100 that just does maths equations, so doing all the code is probably really hard.
