store operator as a variable

[davebat]

Is it possible to store operators in a field of an sql table and then use this value to calculate figures in asp .net.

For example if the field in the database was "+" then it would add two figures, if it was "-" then it would subtract on from the other.

You'd have to get the operators from the database but you'd be using if...then or switch statements to call the appropriate line of code.

cheers, this is what im doing at the moment, I would have liked to assign the opertor to a variable so i didnt have to chnage the select case whenever a new calculation was added. Thanks anyway
