I am new to VB and I would like to know if it is possible (cuz I never founded any info on it yet) to convert a string expression entered by the user, such as "5*(5+5)" to a mathematical form so that it can be used to define a variable.

Ex : Dim dblVariable As Double

txtObject.Text = 5*(5+5)

dblVariable = (expression wanted : 5*(5+5)

Thanks to everybody who will answer without making too much fun of me.
