I need to evaluate a mathmatical expression that is presented to me as a string in C#. Example noddy but gets the point across that the string as the expression.
I need the evaluate to then populate an int.
There is no Eval() in C# like in others langugaes...
String myString = "3*4";
Edit:
I am on VS2008
Tried the Microsoft.JScript. = Its deprecated method (but still complies - warning)
However the Microsoft.JScript dll that I have doens work on
public object InvokeMember(string name, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, object target, object[] args);
Complains that there is a missing ";" go figure...
EDIT 2
Solution - was the codeDom one - it worked for as there are no security issue - only me ever going to be running the code. Many thanks for the replies ...
And the link to the new Dragon Book awesome
EDIT 3
Matt dataTable.Compute() also works - even better for the security conscious. (parameter checking noted)
