Hi ALL, my program uses formulas and prompt users for variables values e.g.
then i do:Code:Height= "(x*2)-5+y/2"
now how to evaluate height into a decimal ?Code:height.replace("x","5.5").replace("y","9")

Doesn't the DataTable provide a method that can evaluate expressions ?
Now that you mention it, I do recall someone else suggesting the DataTable.Compute method for this purpose some other time, which is something that I'd never considered. It feels like a bit of a hack but it certainly does the job, within certain limitations.Quote:
