Evaluating a mathematical expression in c#

Question

Guys I have to evaluate a mathematical expression(which is represented by a string). Till now I had simple expressions thus the following was working fine

var result = new DataTable().Compute(STRING_HERE, null);

However now my string expression is becoming a bit more complex and the above method is starting to give errors.

Any idea of how I can handle this situation ?

Please I would like some kind of inbuilt method or function like apporach(preferably).

Could you give any example of what kind of mathematical expressions you want to be able to evaluate? Is it `1+1` or `sum(0, 10, i, {integral(0,i,x,{x})}) ^ (PI*i)`? — BambooleanLogic, Nov 26 '13 at 12:13

so my simple ones were as (X+Y)*100, and worked. But as soon as I do (X+Y)*1(5*5) It no more works. — Anoushka Seechurn, Nov 26 '13 at 12:16
`(X+Y)*1(5*5)` might not even be valid in the first place depending on the exact syntax of the method you're currently using. (Missing `*` sign.) — BambooleanLogic, Nov 26 '13 at 12:17

Not inbuild, but NCalc (http://ncalc.codeplex.com/) is a very nice library for evaluating math expressions.
