Nah. If I build a bridge using Caterpillar equipment I haven't re-arranged Caterpillar equipment into a bridge, I've just used tools.

Similarly, just because you write code in C# and then send it to code I wrote, which translates it to CIL, that doesn't mean that any of your code is actually an arrangement of my code. Your code just conformed to the required input of my tool (the C# compiler).
