How to dynamically pass a variable (of string type) value to another variable name in vb.net?

I am a former VFP programmer and was amazed by some powerful technics of VFP such as declaring dynamically a variable and assign to it a name from another string variable. I am looking for how to do the same in vb.net. I search but most solutions suggest array or list where I could not use the specific meaningful name of the variables.

I have a list of many variables in a table and for each variable I would like to dynamically declare a variable that have the name of the variable and assign to to it the variable value. Below is just 5 % of the full list

partial list of the variables

I can declare all the variable one by one but I would prefer a shorter way if any.

How could you assist me?

I have not tried anything.

You can't dynamically create variables in a strongly typed language. (You could create a dynamically typed variable, but that's not what you're looking for.)

Take a look at the Dictionary class, which is a collection of pairs (name and value), like a classic "hash array" or an object in JavaScript.

Edit. When you create a dictionary in VB.Net, you specify the datatype of the key (usually a String) and the datatype of the value. If all your values are Integers, yo do something like: Dim myDict As New Dictionary (Of String, Integer). If you really need to store different classes of objects (using the same dictionary), you may do: Dim myDict As New Dictionary (Of String, Object) (but you'll lose type safety).
