Declare a variable inside your program

[djpaul]

Hello,
I am busy making a program to create scripts.
In there i also want to use variables.
But how can i declare a new variable just by entering a name and selecting a type (eg, string, int, float etc) on a form??

Thanks!
Paul

I'm afraid I'm not sure I understand your question...

Like, your form has a textbox on it in which you write a script and your program will parse it? You want to know how to handle variable storage?

If that's the case, the easiest way might be to create a data type that stores the name, type, and value of your variable... something like:

struct Variable
{
  string name;
  Type type;
  object value;
}

Then your code can store a list of these (updating per scope, I'd imagine). When you execute the code, I think you might be able to make use of reflection... have a look into that.
