Question

Since VBScript is not available in 64-bit compiled applications, is there a way to evaluate basic DATE-based VBScript:

cdate("01/01/" & year(now()))

As you see, the above VBScript would evaluate today’s date as “01/01/2012”. Is there a simple way to evaluate that expression in VB.Net or C#?

To be clear, I don’t need to support all VBScripting… only simple, flat, date-based expressions, like the example above.

Answer 1

You can reuse VBScript in 64-bit. See this answer on SO: parse and execute JS by C#

It works also for VBScript, like this:

Console.WriteLine(ScriptEngine.Eval("vbscript", "cdate(\"01/01/\" & year(now()))"));
