Implements

IScriptEngineExecuteCommand(String)
Remarks

This method is similar to Evaluate(String) but optimized for command consoles. The specified command must be limited to a single expression or statement. Script engines can override this method to customize command execution as well as the process of converting the result to a string for console output.

The VBScriptEngine version of this method supports both expressions and statements. If the specified command begins with "eval " (not case-sensitive), the engine executes the remainder as an expression and attempts to use CStr to convert the result value. Otherwise, it executes the command as a statement and does not return a value.
