    Hi Minh, the article you linked to indicates you are trying to execute the code in a C# application.

     


    If so, you cannot use eval(), it is a function specific to JScript.

    Hi Minh, I have had some experience with the COM Object writing a batch execution util and I don't think it provides the feature you want.

     


    From experience, the COM Object provides methods to execute existing Test Items within a Project Suite, e.g.








    but nothing to allow the execution of adhoc, anonymous code.


     


    The closest thing I can think of is the ItcIntegration::RunRoutineEx() method which allows execution of a function with parameters.

    Hi Minh,

     


    As far as I know there are external libraries where the Eval function for C# is implemented. You can google it.


    For example, I've found this one.

    Hi Minh, in what way are you wanting to run a test complete script from your windows C#  application



    1. By it's name?

    2. As a string containing the script source code?
