I have two questions:

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

Visual Basic:
' 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?
