Anyone can help me for this problem  In Visual fox pro 9.0  you can do very easily by using : & For example : you have a string : x=  (2*3+2*(2-8)) and what you do is : y=&x (=-6 as the result from x) . But i do not know what I should do in c#.net  it is very difficult .

Thanks for your reply  the string 10*2 above is only a simply example for describing my idea  my problem is : I have a complex string with equators like +-*/ and others like () in an expression . For example : (10*2)+((8*6-9*5+3*2)*(72*7/2)) . Hope for your help soon . it is urgent for me . Thanks much. ( Sorry if i give the very simple in the original question )
