Number Troubles

[darknuke]

I have two questions:

1. How to evaluate something like (2 + 2) * 2 as an integer when I enter it into a text box?

 Tried this
 calcEq.Text = "2 + 2"
MsgBox(CType(calcEq.Text, Long))

"Cast from string "2 + 2" to type Long is not valid."


2. How can I prevent arithmetic overflow (even happens with some SMALL simple equations), and have large numbers like Calculator that comes with Windows?

w00t, damn "2 + 2" as string ...and you want the result in integer ?

Anyone interested in doing what I did:
