Using System.Dynamic in Roslyn
I think that you should reference the Microsoft.CSharp.dll
assembly
To make the code work in .Net Core 2.1 I had to add this references in the compilation:
var compilation = CSharpCompilation.Create(
"calc.dll",
options: new CSharpCompilationOptions(OutputKind.DynamicallyLinkedLibrary),
syntaxTrees: new[] {tree},
references: new[] {
MetadataReference.CreateFromFile(typeof(object).Assembly.Location),
MetadataReference.CreateFromFile(typeof(ExpandoObject).Assembly.Location),
MetadataReference.CreateFromFile(Assembly.Load(new AssemblyName("Microsoft.CSharp")).Location),
MetadataReference.CreateFromFile(Assembly.Load(new AssemblyName("netstandard")).Location),
MetadataReference.CreateFromFile(Assembly.Load(new AssemblyName("mscorlib")).Location),
MetadataReference.CreateFromFile(Assembly.Load(new AssemblyName("System.Runtime")).Location),
}
);
