Code within code - brandonio21 - 01-07-2012

Here is just a little tip for you guys, if you ever want to store a snippet of code within a variable, you can use the following syntax.

Code:
<code>

</code>

So for example,

Code:
Dim c = <code>

Messagebox.Show("Hello!")

</code>

This will actually store the code to display a messagebox with the text of 'Hello' within the c variable. This is very useful if you would like to develop some sort of plugin system for your application.

I am not too familiar on how executing that variable actually works, but here is a code snippet that shows the execution of code stored within a variable.
