Use the following procedure to create it.

  1. Open Visual Studio
  2. Go to the menu and select "File" -> "New" -> "Project..." or simply press "Ctrl + Shift + N".

    New Project

  3. Now select "Blank App" inside Visual C#  Template and select "Blank App (XAML)".

    Blank App

  4. Now provide the name of the application and location.
  5. Now  go to the Solution Explorer and open MainPage.xaml Page and now start to make a calculator.

First of all make 11 buttons for 0-9 number buttons and one button for decimal (Dot(.)) using the following XAML code.

  1. <Button x:Name="BtnZero" Content="0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="406,643,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="116" Background="Black" Height="74" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36"/>  
  2.   
  3.         <Button x:Name="Btn1" Content="1" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="290,568,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="117" Background="Black" Height="76" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36" />  
  4.   
  5.         <Button x:Name="Btn2" Content="2" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="406,568,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="116" Background="Black" Height="76" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36" />  
  6.   
  7.         <Button x:Name="Btn3" Content="3" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="523,568,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="115" Background="Black" Height="76" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36" />  
  8.   
  9.         <Button x:Name="Btn4" Content="4" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="290,493,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="117" Background="Black" Height="75" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36" />  
  10.   
  11.         <Button x:Name="Btn5" Content="5" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="406,493,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="116" Background="Black" Height="75" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36" />  
  12.   
  13.         <Button x:Name="Btn6" Content="6" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="523,493,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="115" Background="Black" Height="75" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36" />  
  14.   
  15. <Button x:Name="Btn7" Content="7" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="290,418,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="117" Background="Black" Height="76" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36" />  
  16.   
  17.         <Button x:Name="Btn8" Content="8" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="406,418,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="116" Background="Black" Height="76" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36" />  
  18.   
  19.         <Button x:Name="Btn9" Content="9" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="523,418,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="115" Background="Black" Height="76" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36" />  
  20.   
  21.         <Button x:Name="BtnDot" Content="." HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="290,643,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="117" Background="Black" Height="74" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36" />  
Now by using code above the buttons look like:
 
Buttons code
 
Now we will create a TextBox that will take input by the click event of the button. 
  1. <TextBox x:Name="TxtBox" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,118,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="1346" Height="89" FontSize="48" FontWeight="Bold" FlowDirection="RightToLeft" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="4" Text="" MaxLength="10"/>  
Now create buttons for arithmetic operations using the following code:
  1. <Button x:Name="BtnAdd" Content="+" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="637,568,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="115" Background="Black" Height="149" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36" />  
  2.   
  3. <Button x:Name="BtnMul" Content="*" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="637,418,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="115" Background="Black" Height="75" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36"/>  
  4.   
  5. <Button x:Name="BtnSub" Content="-" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="637,493,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="115" Background="Black" Height="76" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36" />  
  6.   
  7. <Button x:Name="BtnDiv" Content="/" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="752,643,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="115" Background="Black" Height="76" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36"/>  
  8.  
  9. <Button x:Name="BtnEqual" Content="=" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="523,643,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="115" Background="Black" Height="74" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36"/>  
  10. <Button x:Name="BtnPercent" Content="%" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="752,493,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="115" Background="Black" Height="75" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36"/>
The Above will generate Addition Button(+), Subtraction Button(-), Multiplication Button(*), Division Button(/), Equals Button (=) and Percentage button(%) 

Now create buttons for power operations using the following code:

  1. <Button x:Name="BtnSquare" Content="X^2" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="867,493,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="115" Background="Black" Height="76" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36" />  
  2.   
  3.         <Button x:Name="BtnCube" Content="X^3" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="867,418,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="115" Background="Black" Height="76" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36"/>  
  4.   
  5.         <Button x:Name="BtnRoot" Content="√" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="752,418,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="115" Background="Black" Height="74" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36"/>  
  6.   
  7.         <Button x:Name="BtnPow" Content="X^Y" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="982,418,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="115" Background="Black" Height="76" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36"/>  
The code above will generate the following buttons: Square, Cube, Square Root and Power.
To create the Square Root button:
  1. Open "Run" by pressing "Windows Key + R".
  2. And enter "charmap". This command will open the Character Map.

    Character Map

  3. After pressing "OK" you will see the following Dialog Box:

  4. Now search for the Square Root Symbol character then select that and copy that.

    Square Root Symbol character

  5. Now paste the copied character into your program.
Now create buttons for logarithmic operations using the following code:
  1.  <Button x:Name="BtnLog" Content="Log" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="867,567,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="115" Background="Black" Height="75" BorderBrush="Red" FontSize="36" />

Now inside the code behind you need to write the following code:
  1. public sealed partial class MainPage : Page  
  2.     {  
  3.         public bool status;//It checks the status that what you want to append the string into the textbox or clear the textbox  
  4.         public bool Dot;// it checks that only one Dot You can put inside the textbox  
  5.         public double PreviousValue = 0.0;// by default previous value will be 0.0 and on performing any operation it will be change according to the textbox  
  6.         public char Operation;//this checks which operation you want to perform like add, subtract, etc...  
  7.         public bool FirstTime = true;  
  8.         public MainPage()

  12.             TxtBox.Text = "0";// default value of the textbox  
  13.         }  
Now write the following code for the number buttons click event.
  1. #region Number Buttons  
  2.         private void BtnZero_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)  
  3.         {

I have created one factorial function that finds the factorial as given below:
  1. private int factorial(int x)  
  2.         {  
  3.             int i = 1;  
  4.             for (int s = 1; s <= x; s++)  
  5.             {  
  6.                 i = i * s;  
  7.             }  
  8.             return i;  
  9.         }  
After doing this I am adding a logo of the application so I have created one logo. You can also create it use the following to add the logo.
  1. Open Solution Explorer.
  2. Open the Package.appxmanifest file.
  3. Go to the logo tab and provide the logo such as the following:

    logo tab
Now after writing all the code, build the project and and run it. After running this you will see the output as follows:
  1. Output in Start Menu.
