You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.
Press CTRL + D to add the file called frmCalculator.cs from the above folder into your project (or right click on the project and choose to add it as an existing item).
Change your project's properties to make this the default form for your project. When you run your project, you should see a (very) basic calculator, which doesn't yet work.
Double-click on the Calculate button to create an event-handler for it. In this event-handler, firstly use a Try ... Catch clause to check that you can read the two numbers entered into integer variables:

If a user has typed non-integer values into either of the boxes, as here, you should display an error message like the one shown and exit out of the subroutine.
If both of the numbers have been entered correctly, display the result in your event-handler:

Here clicking on the Calculate button should update the answer to 741,being the sum of 317 and 424.
That's it! Now you just need to add multiplication, division, subtraction, sines, cosines, hyperbolic sines, square roots ...
