Create a new project.

You can change the form text to "your name's calculator". Click on the form and
then go to properties window, then change the text property.
You also need to disable the maximize control of the form. That's because you
don't want the user to maximize the calculator. Go to the properties window, and
change the maximize box property to False:

You also need to change the FormBorderStyle property to Fixed3D

Add a button to the form and place on top of the form:

You might be surprised of this button because we should have placed a textbox
instead. Well, this is the cool thing about Visual Basic, you can use a button to
display text and results.
Now we have to change the button properties to look like a text box.
First we change it's text to "0.".

We align the text to be on the right. Right click on the button, click on properties. In
the properties window change TextAlign to MiddleRight:

Choose the box in the middle right (the blue one in the image above)

Change the FlatStyle of the button. In the properties window

change FlatStyle to Flat:

You also need to change the color of the button. Go to the properties window and
change the backcolor property to white:
There are two more properties you need to
change: TabStop to False and Enabled to False.

Your button should look like this now:

Let's add the rest of the buttons to the form.
Important: please add the button in the same order exactly as shown below.

Add four buttons. Start by adding the button on the left (1) then (2) then (3) then (4)

Change the text of the four buttons to 7 , 8, 9, / as shown above.

Add four more buttons and change their text to 4, 5, 6, *
Remember to start adding the buttons in order as the following image:

Add four more buttons in the same order as shown below and change their text to
1, 2, 3, -
Add four more buttons in the same order as shown below and change their text to
0, . , =, +

Add the last two buttons to the calculator in order as shown below and change
their text to Clear, Exit:
