It depends on your precise needs. Two ways I can think of:

  • Use a language like Python which is interoperable with C#, and call the Python script from C#. Actually, you can even make things simpler by just calling an executable, passing to it an XML or JSON data, and wait for XML or JSON response.

  • If you need to use C#, then compile C# on the fly, just like LINQPad does. Is it possible to dynamically compile and execute C# code fragments? is a good starting point. Loading the code in a sandbox (in a different AppDomain) is also a good idea if you need to provide enough security and don't trust the code which can be written by the user.
