// This example demonstrates getting the completion value of a script,
// where the last evaluated expression is a string.

// The Javascript run in this example is shown below.

// Load the JavaScript from a file.
Chilkat.StringBuilder sbScript = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();

if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(sbScript.LastErrorText);

}

Chilkat.Js js = new Chilkat.Js();
Chilkat.JsonObject result = new Chilkat.JsonObject();

// Run the JavaScript
// Eval returns the completion value of the script. This is generally the value of the last evaluated expression.
// In this case, the last evaluated expression is a string.
success = js.Eval(sbScript,result);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(sbScript.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

result.EmitCompact = false;
Debug.WriteLine(result.Emit());

// Output:

// {
//   "type": "string",
//   "value": "Ready for Chilkat.Js"
// }

var status = "Ready";
var system = "Chilkat.Js";

// The last statement is an expression
status + " for " + system;
