yeah, you format the string yourself, how much easier can you get? (without doing any work that is)

Try this:

Path.GetTempFileName();
Path.GetTempPath();

I think you'll manage implanting this one Smile | :)

Try using the GetShortPathName API. You can get the function signature at pinvoke.net, and an example here

Dear developers

I need to provide an environment that users can build a formula usuin field names of a database
table and some string functions like "substr","left", and "right".The environment saves formula
in a string variable,and when user clicks a button,my code must run that formula over values of
those fields for selected record of that table.
Now,I have that environment and it returns formula as a sring to me,but I don't still have any
idea how to run this string.Do I have to write some code to compile it?I found that .Net has
some namespaces for building dynamic methods,I mean Document object model,but if I want to use
classes of this namesapce I have to convert that formula to IL,which is more difficult for me.
Is there any other idea how I can run a user defined expression inside my code and show up its
result to user?That expression can be like this,if we suppose all table field names start with
"fld":
"fldDKCode+fldDKSerial+Substr(fldDKDate,3,2)+fldDKId+Left(fldDKUserName)"
and I have a database table named TBDKUsers,includes all fields mentioned above.When user clicks
on Run button,my program must show the result of this expression for selected record of TBDKUsers.

Thank you very much\
Reza

I can't really understand what you are doing, but I think this might be it. You are having users write an expression string that will pull out of a (SQL?) database? If so, just take those expressions and turn them into the equivalent SQL statement. If you are using a different database system, the steps will still be almost the same.

If your looking for a way to convert a string to a use-able command you could break the string up into sub strings and then pass those through methods you create.

So if you had the string of Blue/No/Yes/Please

And methods

String Conversion;
Color of Eyes;
Children;
Married;
Call Back;

This would allow you to execute specific commands to your database based off of the strings contents.

Judging by the amount of posts you've cracked out in the last few hours, I can only assume that you're a clueless freak that should only be allowed near a computer under the supervision of a responsible higher lifeform, such as an amoeba. Why not do what the rest of us have done and buy some books, or maybe even do your own freakin' research before posting inane questions, you complete and utter waste of oxygen.

Hey, moron, I do know. And do you know how I know? Why, it's because I know how to read books. You may not be aware, but a book is this wonderful thing with paper, and words and information, all waiting for you to pick it up and actually think for yourself.

I may have to explain this words concept to you because you don't seem to be aware that you can actually expand single characters into these wonderful things which convey knowledge.

It's been a while since I've felt the need to roast the clueless, but today they've queued up and practically begged for a whupping.
