How to perform addition in an array

[frj1001]

Hi
i am new to c sharp. i am building a simple calculator with a text box and few buttons. i need to store values entered into the text box from string to char array so that i can check for the '+' and perform addition among the elements like 12+22+11. i need to add all this functionality to the = button because i'll be using the + button to just add data into the textbox like 1, 2 buttons etc. This is what i have in the = button

private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string s = textBox1.Text;
            char[] c = s.TocharArray();
            int i = 0;
            for(;i<c.Length;i++)
            {
                if(c[i].Equals('+'))

I can't figure out what to do next. Can someone help me complete the code and also figure out the errors in the existing code if any. need help urgently.

One way. Split the input String on "+". Then convert the array elements to integer data type. And add.

Remember you need to put validations to handle the extreme conditions or illegal inputs.

May I suggest picking up a basic C# introductory book? It's not that people here don't want to be helpful, but there is a certain amount of basic learning work that one should really take upon themselves before asking for help. There are so many great "How do I build my first application" tutorials on the web... There are dozens of "Learn C# in 21 days", "My first C# program" books at your look book seller or even public library... Asking a forum, any forum, to hand-hold you through it is just redundant. In many ways it disrespects the people who have invested dozens of hours in the on-line tutorials and those that spent thousands of hours in authoring books.

is a terrific book that has you build a Windows Forms application, a WPF app, a database application, your own web browser.

C# Cookbooks
Are a great place to get good code, broken down by need, written by coding professionals. You can use the code as-is, but take the time to actually study it. These professionals write in a certain style for a reason developed by years of experience and heartache.

Microsoft Visual Studio Tip, 251 ways to improve your productivity, Microsoft press, ISBN 0-7356-2640-5
Has many, many great, real-world tips that I use all the time.
