LikeBasic script engine component

Introduction

When I was making the dbex project I realize that in .Net enviroment has no simple Basic engine for only to write & run. So I tested an old i an old idea for producing simple script engine with common known Basic language.

It should be easy to evaluate value of expression, but also there should have capapilities for writing simple programs. Flexible typing system releases programmer from planning and implementing types.

Because of using .NET libraries, there are possibilities for expanding language with class libraries.

It is easy to add functions and variables in host application.

'Start executes command

if Left(Text,5)="START" then
RUN (MID(Text,6))
end if

Usage

LikeBasic could be used as a component on form. It could modify the appearence of the hosted form, which could be made without recompiling the application. I have made one small sample about this. It could be found in manual.

Usage, I originally think about this component, was creating component which could do all kind of checking and modifies values on components at runtime.

Demo

There is included LikeBasicConsole, which could be used for running and testing LikeBasic programs. Source for it could be found in installation directory.

Source does not include project information. If you wish to compile. before opening file, please add Likebasic to component palette as descriped in manual. and add it to the form. After that you can open source files in your project. Namespace should change to WindowsApplication1.
