"2" - Button2
"3" - Button3
"4" - Button4
"5" - Button5
"6" - Button6
"7" - Button7
*"8" - Button8
*"9" - Button9
*"0" - Button10
*"+" - Button_Add
"" - Button_Multiply
*"-" - Button_Minus
*"=" - Button_Equal
*"C" - Button_Clear
*"/" - Button_Divide
*"." - Button_Point
Text box - Textbox1.text

Double click on the form and add the following cod

Public Class Form1
' We create this variables as globals so they can be accessed from any where in the program.

' this varible is for the mathematical symbol clicked. e.g +, - .
Dim sign As Char
' This variable stores the first value entered by the user.
Dim first As Double
' This variable stores the second value entered by the user.
Dim second As Double
' This variable stores the answer of the calculation
Dim ans As Double
' This variable stores a value 1 or 0 to tell if the calculation is complete or not.
Dim stat As Integer

'
Sub confirm()
stat = 1
first = TextBox1.Text
End Sub
' This subroutine checks the mathematical symbol that was clicked using a select case statement.
' This is more efficient then using several if statements.
' Then its performs the calculation based on the symbol chosen.
' It then sets the calculator status to 1 to show the calculation is complete(stat=1).
' It then displays your result in the textbox (TextBox1.Text = ans)
Sub action()

Select Case sign
Case "+"
ans = first + TextBox1.Text
Case "-"
ans = first - TextBox1.Text
Case "*"
ans = first * TextBox1.Text
Case "/"
ans = first / TextBox1.Text

Case Else

End Select
stat = 1
TextBox1.Text = ans
End Sub

stat = 0
End If
End Sub

' using addnum() in the button click event prevents having to write the same code for every button click.
' event. The parameter in the subroutine is the number that should be added to the text button on the button click.
