Converting String Value to a Formula for calculation?

I have come to a situation that I need to use the result of a string
variable as a formula for performing calculation.

As an example below:

Dim X As Integer

Dim Y As Integer

Dim Result As Integer

Dim Formula As String = "X + Y"

X = 3

Y = 5

Result = Formula

MessageBox.Show(Result)

I know that the above example is not working but I am appreciate if someone
out there can help me on that.

I think I have gone through some similar questions inside the newsgroup but
I am not too sure on the solutions. Many thanks to someone out there who is
answering the above question again and if possible, give me an example.

Thank you.
 
Hi SiewSA,

The most used are I think
(1+1).toString that is the same as "2"
Dim myvalue as integer = Cint("2")
Dim myvalue as double = Cdbl("2")

I hope this helps?
