Addtion / Sum of Parameter Array Values - SSRS

Hi All,
I want to Sum instead of Join Parameter arrays selected values and use
it within the report to display data based on total sum of all the
values selected. Join concatanates them with comma delimited values
but i want sum of all those values.
Example as below
Value DisplayText
1 - Current Month
2 - Previoius Year
4 - Half Year
8 - Year to date
so if
current month and half year
are selected then i want to read 1 + 4 = 5 and not 1,4 as currently i
get by join function.
Code = SUM(Parameters!dropdownbox.value)
Result = #Error
Code = Join(Parameters!dropdownbox.value,",")
Result = "1,4"
Code = SUM(Join(Parameters!dropdownbox.value,","))
Result = #Error
Code = Parameters!dropdownbox.count
Result = 4 (it gives me length of array)
Code = ?
Result = 5 (This is the result is want...but can make it work)
Any help greatly appreciated
Regards

I'm not sure how many items are in your dropdown list but this will
work if you only have a few...
=CInt(Parameters!site.Value(0)) + CInt(Parameters!site.Value(1))|||Hi James,
Thanks for posting your reply, you suggesstio would only work if i
have set fixed length of options, but i don't know how this is going
to work in case of unknown number of options.
For now , I have Created a .net class file DLL with following code and
referenced the dll in my .rdl file, it works for me, but would be good
if it can be done within SSRS itself. Any more suggesstions welcome
