Question

I have simple lambda as a string:

var str = "f => f.Substring(0, f.IndexOf(' '))";

which eventualy takes first word from the passed string.

What is the easiest way to compile/convert this peace of string into Func and make the following code to work.

Func<string, string> func = ...
var firstWord = func("Hello World");

Will Expression help me? Will appreciate working sample,

Thanks

Answer 1

You will need to examine the string and construct an expression from the provided string. There is no easy or built in method to obtain a method from a string like this.

Good luck.
