I just spent hours working on figuring out what variables are available in what scope in the CodeDOM.
Way too long. I finally got it working, or so it appears. The trouble is, I have no idea why it works, or how it is doing it.
And i just wrote this. And the debugger is giving me a headache.
Do I pack it in, and leave this magical code as is?
Or do i rewrite until I understand what I did? 
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I hope you use something like Git, before you rewrite it into something that doesn't work.

If you have time, leave it for a day and divide and conquer after that.

sounds like a good idea. Man, this lil monster is hard but cool.
It leads me to wonder all kinds of weird arcana about the order of type resolution when you reference something from inside a method without qualifying it with this or base
This needs to at least mostly emulate a subset of C#, which means really understanding how C# works. It's challenging.

Ofcourse Git is a good idea

I understand how C# evolved from VB, with P-code, a pre-installed set of libraries and a garbage collector. I understand the basics of the garbage collector and how pointers work.
I don't think I can comprehend your little monsters though, but the enthousiasm is fun to read

What Eddy said.
And you need to understand it, otherwise you won't be able to fix the bug that will inevitably show its dirty face if you don't.

I'm looking at it this way - it has worked for what little i've been able to throw at it. It's *hard* to test right now but will be easier to test when more of the project comes together - a lot of the project is like that right now. I have some of the foundation but I'm building a house in the middle of a hurricane so to speak. It's a bit hectic.

So, after my last post, I still need some source control. With MS saying not to use VSTS, and I DON'T WANT GIT, what are my options?

SVN?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Hosted where?

I actually have a server, and I've hosted SVN on it, but having the source in a repo in the same room as my dev PC doesn't keep me from losing the code if my house burns down.
I could of course back up the SVN repo, but that's what cloud based systems are for.
I guess I could set up backup of the repos to some cloud storage, but I'm looking for easy.

You shouldn't consider source control as a backup system - separate the concerns and implement a planned backup strategy, by all means in conjunction with source control. They really aren't there for the same things, and you sound like you need disaster recovery rather than source control.
Backup to the cloud, or onto physical media which you rotate into a mates house (and perhaps rotate his into yours) instead.

I never said source control was backup.
I said doing source control on a server next to my Dev PC doesn't make sense in case the house burns down

That's what I hear.
If you want to secure your work against the case where your house burns down, seek a backup solution.
If you want to be able to maintain different versions of your codebase, seek a source control system.
There's no reason you can't use both.
Technically, you can setup a source control system as a backup solution. But it would be very inefficient. I've tried it once but found it to be painfully slow. Plus it clogs your drives with version control info that you might not even need - at least not on your local drives!
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

Host the repo locally. Store the backups of the repo off-site.
I believe that's the crux of Griff's point.
