[Mono-list] Javascript eval() function in c#

[Martin Hinks]

I think it's a good idea - very useful when you want the end user to
be able to enter their own mathematical expressions to have a
pre-built parser and evaluator.

There's an interesting article on the topic (and a full implementation
(in VB.NET)) at
http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/math_expression_evaluator.asp.

Hope that helps,

Martin
