Calculate a sum in 1 click c#

Question

Scenario:

the form consists of 2 text boxes and a button.
- in textBox1 the user inputs: 4+7-3+10
- the button is pressed
- in textBox2 the output will work out the sum = 18

Can this be achieved in c#? and if yes, how?

Thanks.

Maybe you should look around first before asking this question. This is really easy to do and there are a number of ways you could do this. — Josh L., Apr 23 '15 at 14:41

var calculator = new DataTable();
int result = (int)calculator.Compute("4+7-3+10", null); // 18

Have a look at the remarks section of DataColumn.Expression to see what is supported.
