Do you mean something like vbscript? you could use a scripting control to generate and execute code under runtime, or do you want to add code to your vb project? then you could make an add-in to do that.

i want add code to code to the project so the add-in
is what i'm looking for

Well there are a lot you need to know about coding add-ins but it's most fun when you don't, since you'll discover there's a lot you can do with it i'll give you something to start with:

Private VBInstance As VBIDE.VBE
    'how to retrieve code
    Debug.Print VBInstance.VBProjects("Project1").VBComponents("Form1").CodeModule.Lines(1)
    'how to write code
    VBInstance.VBProjects("Project1").VBComponents("Form1").CodeModule.InsertLines 1, "Yourcode"

it's best for you if you create a new add-in project then you have all that you need. just play around with the vbinstance object and you'll find out. Anywhere here's for adding and retrieving code.
