Namespace:  Microsoft.ClearScript
Assembly:  ClearScript.Core (in ClearScript.Core.dll) Version: 7.2.3
Syntax
public Object Evaluate(
	string documentName,
	string code
)

Parameters

documentName
Type: SystemString
A document name for the script code. Currently this name is used only as a label in presentation contexts such as debugger user interfaces.
code
Type: SystemString
The script code to evaluate.

Return Value

Type: Object
The result value.
Remarks

In some script languages the distinction between statements and expressions is significant but ambiguous for certain syntactic elements. This method always interprets the specified script code as an expression.

If a debugger is attached, it will present the specified script code to the user as a document with the specified name. This document will be discarded after execution.

For information about the types of result values that script code can return, see Evaluate(String, Boolean, String).
