mathematical String Evaluation

[kris Palmby]

hi,

I'm trying to do something which I assume is fairly simple but I jsut cannot
seem to do it.

I have a string which i am trying to evaluate Mathematically
for Example

Dim strEval as string
Dim decEval as Decimal

strEval = "(10+5) * 6"

I'm trying to get decEval = 90

Can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks
Kris

I don't think .NET has a command to do this... I think you need a 3rd party
Math Parser to do this (or wirte your own class). Check this thread (and
google):

You could use JScript's Eval method from VB/C#:
