What's Eval Expression.NET?

Eval Expression.NET improves performance dramatically to access public and private methods, field, property value, or create object instances overusing C# reflection.

It allows you to evaluate, Compile and Execute dynamic C# code and expression at runtime.

From simple C# math expression...

int result = Eval.Execute<int>("X + Y", new { X = 1, Y = 2});

To complex code to parse.

int result = Eval.Execute<int>(@"
	var list = new List<int>() { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
	var filter = list.Where(x => x < 4);
	return filter.Sum(x => x);");
