In C# we can make a simple Calculator within an hour.Simple limited number of lines of code is needed for this. A sample design with program(source code ) is here.Addition,Multiplication,Subtraction and Division can be done using this calculator.
In this the form have a TextBox for inputting and outputting the data.The name of the TextBox is changed to 'txtNumber' ,the form have 17 buttons for different uses.drag and drop a button to the form ,change the text property as '7' this button for print 7 on the TextBox,change the button controls name property as 'btn7'.like this add 9 button controls to form for 0-9 numbers also change the name property of all buttons like 'btn7'.Now we need 5 more buttons for arithmetic operation like '+','-','*, '=' and '/' so drag and drop 5 more buttons and change their names 'btnAdd','btnSub',btnMul','btnresult' and 'btndivision' respectively .Finally we want 2 more buttons for "clear" and "clear all" operation in the above form these are represented by button 'C' and 'CA' respectively also changes the names of these buttons as 'btnClear' and 'btnClearAll'.Now we are completed the design part of the form. After completing the design we can start the coding .for coding open the code page of the(double click the form) form and write the code here is the code for simple calculator:
