Parsing string to doubles - Calculator

[James]

Hi all, I'm making a mini calculator for fun. My only problem is home
to convert the string in the text box to a double so it can be added,
subtracted, etc. I'm sure most people know how, but I'm a beginner.
Many thanks. James

Note that for a calculator, you should consider using the Decimal type
- it's much less likely to give you results which appear to be "wrong".
