Hi,
I would like to create a calculator using visual studio (win app)C#, I've put 16 buttons on the form and this is my code so far:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication6
{
	public partial class Form1 : Form
	{
		public int a, b, c;
		public Form1()
		{
			InitializeComponent();
			
		}

	  
		private void button13_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			textBox1.Text = "0";
		}

		private void button9_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			if (textBox1.Text == "0")
				textBox1.Text = "";
			textBox1.Text = textBox1.Text + button9.Text;
		}

		private void button10_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			if (textBox1.Text == "0")
				textBox1.Text = "";
			textBox1.Text = textBox1.Text + button10.Text;
		}

		private void button11_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			if (textBox1.Text == "0")
				textBox1.Text = "";
			textBox1.Text = textBox1.Text + button11.Text;
		}

		private void button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			if (textBox1.Text == "0")
				textBox1.Text = "";
			textBox1.Text = textBox1.Text + button5.Text;
		}

		private void button6_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			if (textBox1.Text == "0")
				textBox1.Text = "";
			textBox1.Text = textBox1.Text + button6.Text;
		}

		private void button7_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			if (textBox1.Text == "0")
				textBox1.Text = "";
			textBox1.Text = textBox1.Text + button7.Text;
		}

		private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			if (textBox1.Text == "0")
				textBox1.Text = "";
			textBox1.Text = textBox1.Text + button1.Text;
		}

		private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			if (textBox1.Text == "0")
				textBox1.Text = "";
			textBox1.Text = textBox1.Text + button2.Text;
		}

		private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			if (textBox1.Text == "0")
				textBox1.Text = "";
			textBox1.Text = textBox1.Text + button3.Text;
		}

now I want to add the two numbers that I push on the caclculater , I want to know how can I cast (convert) type string to int , I wrote this code but it didn't work :

 private void button16_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			a = (int)button1.Text;
			b = (int)button2.Text;
			c = a + b;
		}

I just need some help to complete the add section on the calculator ,
Best Regards
}
}

Hi
You can convert a string to an int using either int.Parse(string) or int.TryParse(string,out int) methods of int type.
both of these method do the same thing using two different methods.
int.Parse gets a string and returns an int value, however if the string can't be parsed then an exception will be thrown.
The int.TryParse method gets a string and an out argument as int and returns a boolean value that will be true if the operation is successful and you can get the value using the out argument. It won't throw any exception so it's safer to use this method instead of int.Parse

You can also use the following:

a = Convert.Int(textBox1.Text);

b = Convert.ToInt(textBox1.Text);

Woops!Please correct the first line mistake!:


*a = Convert.ToInt(textBox1.Text);
