Making a Calculator in Windows Store Apps

Introduction

Today we are creating a simple calculator Windows Store App using  C# and XAML in Visual Studio 2012. This calculator app will simply perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and percentage calculation like the Windows Calculator but not like the scientific calculator.

Step 1

The first step is to create a new Windows Store App.

Step 3

The "MainPage.xaml" is as in the follwoing code:

<Page
