Converting string "2 1/2" to double

[Valerie Hough]

Is there a C# class that will help convert strings that include fractions
( "2 1/2" e.g.) to doubles ? Convert.ToDoubl e() throws an invalid input
format exception.

Obviously I can write code to do it but this seems like a fairly normal
thing to want to do and I would expect C# to have already built in support.

Can anyone help? Even unmanaged code would do.

Nope. There's nothing in the Framework.

I wrote my own Fraction class, which I would be happy to share with
you. I'll send a message to you directly.
