Storing string with variable as app setting

Hi

I have a string expression which is evaluated based on value of a variable
like this;

"MyTable.MyFiel d = (" & MyVar.ToString & ")"

I need to save this expression as app setting so I can change it without
having to recompile and reinstall the app every time. How do I do this?
Creating and app setting say X as "MyTable.MyFiel d = (" & MyVar.ToString &
")" does not work as My.Settings.X brings the whole expression as a literal
and does not evaluate the value of variable MyVar.

Thanks

Regards
