I wrote an article about this a long time ago:

There's a class in there where you can just specify the code to execute dynamically with a few lines of code... It's old and terrible .NET coding conventions but it works :-) - I've used it in a few customer applications that actually do nearly exactly what you describe. In one app we created one class out of all matching snippets up front and compiled it on the fly to be run later.
