Executing a string in C#

Question

Hello there!
I am working on a project and I want to execute a C# statement which in inside a string.
For example:

string s = "int a = 2";
some_cool_method(s);
Console.WriteLine(a);
//This should print 2 in the console.

How do I do that? You can suggest me any way. (Including managed code (APIs) and unmanaged code).

Thank You.

You might get some ideas here, but a quick read implies to me that there isn't an eval-in-place option, only eval-and-assign-result (to local var).

...mentions "DataBinder.Eval from System.Web.UI" and a project named "Dynamic Expresso"

Compilation and Reflection come up as alternative hints.
