What is the interest ?

can you please explain you scenario in more Detail? What you mean with dynamically generated? But if you just mean to create a "working project-file" without VS - it's a plain XML-file - Make a project in VS and have a look at the project-file in a text- or XML-Editor and have a look at the schema docu: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/5dy88c2e.aspx

First you will need to install all the msbuild and .NET programs (compilers, resource generators, linkers etc.) required to create a forms application. You will then need some way of capturing source code in your ASP.NET web pages, saving it to some location on the server, generating the msbuild script and running it. If you run a simple project build in Visual Studio you can examine all the run files to see what is required. You can also go to MSDN and study the product at your leisure.
