The Reflection.Emit API provides a means to dynamically create new assemblies. Using customized builders and generating Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) or Common Intermediate Language (CIL) code enables programs to create new programs at runtime. These assemblies may be dynamically invoked or saved to file where they may be reloaded and invoked or used by other programs.
Dynamic assembly creation can be useful for back-ends to compilers or scripting engines on tools such as Web browsers.
