Hi Maurice,

Actually, the script I am referring to would be written by a developer, and
yes it will be executed via reflection on the currently executing assembly.

The application that will use this configuration scheme is really in need of
executing commands based on scripts. I can describe this application as " a
buiseness system that its flow will change every 3 months, but the basic and
atomic functionality will remain the same even after 100 years".

For example, let's say that acommand named "RunSchedular" is invoked. At
this time the command will run functions func1(), then func2(), then
func3(). However, after 3 months from now, it will run func1(), then func2()
if and only if the return value from func1() is greater than 6.

IF func1() > 6
    func2()
ELSE
    func4()
END IF

The problem is that every 3 months, the flow will change. Currently, I
cannot see anyway to get around this except for using custom configuration
script that will be interpretted at runtime.
