eval(string) to C# code

Question

Is it possible to evaluate the following in C# at runtime

I have a class that contains 3 properties (Field,Operator,Value)

Answer 1

No, C# doesn't support anything like this directly.

The closest options are:

• Create a full valid C# program and dynamically compile it with CSharpCodeProvider.
• Build an expression tree, compile and execute it
• Perform the evaluation yourself (this may actually be easiest, depending on your operators etc)
