I am working with VB.NET, I have many mathematical equations in my windows application, which differ according to many options I selected from previous form. So I m using thesse equation as strings in database and according to the selected options from the previous form it drag the its equation, which I concatinate to a variable (number) according to the selected age. So this equation doesn't work because it defined as nvchar in the databse and the variable is number, I tried the function eval() which I use in asp to solve this but it didn't work. I want to know if there is a function in VB.NET can solve this problem or what can I do to solve it.

			Dim laib As String
			Dim laia As String
			Dim laii As String
			Dim lai As Double
			Dim fac As Decimal
			Me.LAITableAdapter.FillBy(Me.EcoponicDS.LAI, trt_id, gh_type)
			CB.DataSource = EcoponicDS.Tables("LAI")
			CB.ValueMember = "factor"
			fac = CB.SelectedValue.ToString()
			CB.ValueMember = "equ_bef"
			laib = CB.SelectedValue.ToString()
			CB.ValueMember = "equ_aft"
			laia = CB.SelectedValue.ToString()
			laii = (laib & age & laia)
			lai = eval(laii)   'this doesn't work, cannot convert from string to type int

I'm not 100% positive what you're attempting to do here, you didnt give a very good explanation, but I believe this is the solution you're looking for

Dim laib As String
Dim laia As String
Dim laii As String
Dim lai As Double
Dim fac As Decimal
Me.LAITableAdapter.FillBy(Me.EcoponicDS.LAI, trt_id, gh_type)
CB.DataSource = EcoponicDS.Tables("LAI")
CB.ValueMember = "factor"
fac = Convert.ToDecimal(CB.SelectedValue.ToString())
CB.ValueMember = "equ_bef"
laib = Integer.TryParse(CB.SelectedValue, New Integer())
CB.ValueMember = "equ_aft"
laia = Integer.TryParse(CB.SelectedValue, New Integer())
laii = (laib & age & laia)
lai = Convert.ToDouble(laii)   'this doesn't work, cannot convert from string to type int

If I'm way off base as to what you're trying to accomplish, please let me know with a better explanation and Ill try to help once again

Update: vb.net code snippet for eval like behavior.:- EvaluateEquation
