Is it possible to evaluate a string as a method name?
Something like this:
Session[methodToExecute] = "loadFormFormAC ompany";
This is what I would like to do.... eval(Session[methodToExecute]+"()")
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Sean
I think you'll struggle, as there is no direct eval option in .NET as
in JScript. Reason for this is that your .NET assembly is compiled
code.
However you could use reflection to dynamically invoke a method which
existed in your assembly, simply just iterate through methods and when
it matches your variable name, execute it. Alternatively if it was a
separate class library you could rescript and recompile your assembly
on the fly. (Pretty bad idea but technically feasible).
Cheers

You want to learn about reflection. You can do this and a lot more. Here
is a snippet of code that executes a method who's name is stored in the
"aMethodNam e" string variable for the "myObject" object. Note that the
method takes zero arguments:
String aMethodName = @"someMethodNam eHere";
Object aMethodArgument s = new Object[0];
myObject.GetTyp e( ).InvokeMember(
aMethodName,
BindingFlags.In vokeMethod | BindingFlags.No nPublic |
BindingFlags.In stance,
null,
myObject,
aMethodArgument s );
I hope that helps.

Randy

JScript.Net is part of .NET, remember?
Willy.
Thank you all for your feedback.
Randy, your solution looks like what I was after, however a little over my
head at the moment.
I will research reflection and see if I cant make sense out of your snippet.
Thanks again.

Please help!!! I've been stuck on this issue for months. I just wonder if
there is a way to programmatically evaluate expression
strings such as
( ( 3 + 5 ) / 2 ) > 4 --> this should return 0 or false( ( 3 + 6 ) / 3 ) >

Hi,
Is it possible to evaluate a string to get a logical output?
For Eg.
var string1 = "true && false || true"
Is there any method that i can use to evaluate this string and get an logical output? The scenario is that I'm generating the string dynamically with values picked from a database, and combine all those values into teh string.
Thanks in Advance,

Well, of course it's posible, and can be done with some characters mannaging. This way you can complicate it as much as you want. The way i usualy do it is in 5 simple steps:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
