Please help me understand. I'm new to programming.

Dim dblValueAS Double = example.text
Dim dblTotal AS Double

I receiveerror stating cannot convert string to Double. The line I am using is the following:

dblTotal = Ctype(dblValue, Double)

I have also tried:
dblTotal = Ctype(example.text, Double)

Option Strict ON.

What am I doing wrong. I just want the value entered in the text box to be converted to a Double since I am traying create an applicationfor invoicing.

Thanks for you help!
