Visual Basic 2010 Express Tutorial 4 - Simple Calculator Part 1. Simple Calculator Tutorials. Code Download VBT4.zip. Code provided in the picture should be simple to understand. Dim is the keyword used to initialize a variable, and new allocates memory. Anything you type in the textbox is of type string by default. Casting is required to use the value as a different type. Enjoy your first creation in VB.Net!

Basic Calculator
- If you're new to the Visual Basic IDE, looking to brush up on your VB programming skills, or simply have a burning desire to code a simple calculator, this three-part video lesson is for you. Here's the code used.
 - Why is it simple calculator? It has only the basic functions of a calculator such as addition, subtraction, multiplication,division and 2 others. First Entered number is taken to the first variable a. Then select and operator, enter the second number.
 
In the previous sections, we displayed text in console window (black background window). In this section, you will learn to use window forms and other useful components and controls to create GUI applications that increase interactivity.
Step1: Create a project (Windows Forms Application)
File->New-> Project...Step2: Design interface
 -Click on Toolbox in the left site to extend it. You will a list of controls as shown in below: 
-Drag and drop one textbox and rename it to txtbox(change text in Name field of the properties window to txtbox).
 Note: To open Properties window of a control, right-click the control and click Properties.
 -Drag and drop 21 command buttons
 -Rename button0 to cmd0, button1 to cmd1, button2 to cmd2, button3 to cmd3, button4 to cmd4, button5 to cmd5, button6 to cmd6, button7 to cmd7, button8 to cmd8, button9 to cmd9, button10 to cmdequal, button11 to cmdclear, button 12 to cmdadd, button13 to cmdsubtract, button14 to cmdmultiply, button15 to cmddivide, button16 to cmdsquare, button17 to cmdsqtr, button 18 to cmdcos, button19 to cmd sin, button20 to cmdtan.
 -The caption of each button also needs to be changed. For example, you need to change the caption of button0 to 0, button1 to 1, button 2 to 2...etc.
Step3: Write code
To attach code to a control, you need to double-click the control to open code editor. And then you just copy code and paste it.
