Is there a string math evaluator in .NET?

by

Strange that this famous and old question has not an answer that suggests the builtin DataTable.Compute-“trick”. Here it is.

double result = Convert.ToDouble(new DataTable().Compute("1 + 2 * 7", null));

The following arithmetic operators are supported in expressions:

+ (addition)
- (subtraction)
* (multiplication)
/ (division)
% (modulus)

More informations: DataColumn.Expression at Expression Syntax.
