For the calculator, it describes designing the user interface with labels, textboxes and buttons, setting control properties, and writing event handlers for the buttons. For the student tracker, it similarly outlines designing the UI, setting control properties, and writing an event handler for calculating and displaying marks, percentage, division and result. The document is intended to teach beginners how to build simple Windows Forms applications.

Double click Reset button and write code as follow: private void btnClear_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { //txtNo1.Text = ""; txtNo1.Clear(); txtNo2.Clear(); txtResult.Clear(); txtNo1.Focus(); } 3.
