gday people, im not a great coder but i can do simple things like this:P

we will make a couple of programs in this tutorial and before you start you need this
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/exoress.vb.download
d/l and install yadada you know the deal

Overview-


Calculator-

lets get started, open visual basic express.

Open a new project (ctrl+n)

Select windows application

Add 2 Textboxes, 4 Buttons and 2 Labels to a form and arrange like so (see below)



Now add another label (see below)



Double click on the "Add" button to open the ide and type
Code:
Label3.Text="Answer" & _
Str(Val(TextBox1.Text)+Val(Val(TextBox2.Text)))
Repeat the same command except change the + operator with the appropriate operator
remeber, - for subtract, / for divide and * for multiply.if your really lazy here ill include it
Code:
Label3.Text="Answer" & _
Str(Val(TextBox1.Text)-Val(Val(TextBox2.Text)))
Code:
Label3.Text="Answer" & _
Str(Val(TextBox1.Text)*Val(Val(TextBox2.Text)))
Code:
Label3.Text="Answer" & _
Str(Val(TextBox1.Text)/Val(Val(TextBox2.Text)))
But your program doesnt have a title "Calculator" so you change the text value of the form property to Calculator

Run the Program and test it out

you should get something like this


Ill add some more programs to make in here later im hungry atm though
well done any problems just say
