C## equivalent of evaluate()?

Hummm...

I wonder if your data structure is a bit off.

Instead of an array of strings and string_bool values,
perhaps you should do
one of a couple things:

1) Have an array of strings, then a corresponding array of
booleans
2) Have a hashTable instead of an arrayList. If you know all
the strings by
name, why not use that. It's like using a struct in CF (if
you've used
structures before). It's sort of like an array, except that
you don't index
them by number, but by name (the string). Then the strings
would be boolean
values... hmm. let's visualize:

Hashtable stuff = new Hashtable();
stuff.add("mystring1", true);
stuff.add("mystring2", false);

MessageBox.show(stuff.mystring1.toString()); // will pop up
the message
"true"

And of course you can loop over it with a foreach loop
because it's
enumerable.

Now i'm not 100% on this, but it *should* work ;) Hope that
helped.
