simple calculator

Well it should not be so difficult ...

U can create 3 textboxes, 2 for the input and 1 for the output... ( in designmode)

create a function which reads from the input textboxes and calculates ( add-on or else ) the two inputs....

And then displays the answer via the 3rd textbox ...

that's a scientific calculator of which graphing calculators are scientific calculators but the difference is that graphing calculators generate graphs from the equations whereas scientific calculators simply solve the equations
 
I would think that you first need to interpret the equation, e.g. y=2x+1, into something VB .Net would understand and then insert some code into the Paint event of the form to draw the graph, maybe using e.graphics.drawcurve().
