sum values in a textbox C#
C# Visual Studio 2005
I have a textbox that a person enters the packaging details in i.e. 1 x 500, 2 x 50
I need to sum the total of the text entered into the textbox, which in this case would be 600.
how should I approach this problem?

is comma delimited like you show in your question or is that to denote two textboxes?
also will you need to parse the math statement 1x500 or is there a quantity box that you multiply against another number

hi pdavis, it is comma delimited.
As for your second question, i will need to parse 1x500 = 500 and then add it to the second math statement 2x50 = 100 for a total sum of 600.

will there be more than one operation per comma?
like
1 + 5 x 500, 2 x 50
or
1 x 500 x 2, 3 x 10
etc...
