Does c# support any scripting language

Question

I need my superusers to write some basic expressions like (getting today, or getting first day of last month, or just returning a default int value like 40), that I can later execute and get the result. It will be used for basic scripting that will provide an optional default value for a report parameter. It would be nice if it did not require any additional installation

So does c-sharp support any scripting languages that it can happily execute and evaluate?

thanks in advance,

It's an ASP.Net application and .Net Framework 4.5

LUA是一种可以在C＃中使用的脚本语言，请查看LuaInterface

Answer 2

You can use NLua ( http://nlua.org/ https://www.nuget.org/packages/NLua/ )

Super easy to integrate, and work on any platform.

Answer 3

I recently used IronPython to provide "scripting" to a program. You can embed the IronPython runtime in your program and let it execute scripts passed as a string. Look here for some examples.

You can also execute C# code compiled on the fly. See here .

Answer 4

Short answer, yes. There are a lot of different possible script engines for pretty much any possible scripting language.

Personally, i like to use C# for scripts too. Then make the program load the script file and compile it runtime.
