'  The Javascript run in this example is shown below.

'  Load the JavaScript from a file.
Dim sbScript As ChilkatStringBuilder

result.Initialize

'  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 an int.
success = js.Eval(sbScript, result)
If success = False Then
