Default Chapter 3 exercise 2

When I click the buttons nothing happens. Can't figure out why.

Code:
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

public class frmMain : Form
{
    private TextBox txtOperand1;
    private Label txtResult;
    private Button btnCalc;
    private Button btnExit;
    private Label label1;
    #region Windows code
    private void InitializeComponent()
    {
        this.label1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Label();
        this.txtOperand1 = new System.Windows.Forms.TextBox();
        this.txtResult = new System.Windows.Forms.Label();
        this.btnCalc = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
        this.btnExit = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
        this.SuspendLayout();
        // 
        // label1
        // 
        this.label1.BorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.Fixed3D;
        this.label1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(24, 19);
        this.label1.Name = "label1";
        this.label1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(100, 23);
        this.label1.TabIndex = 0;
        this.label1.Text = "enter temp";
        this.label1.TextAlign = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.MiddleRight;
        // 
        // txtOperand1
        // 
        this.txtOperand1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(144, 21);
        this.txtOperand1.Name = "txtOperand1";
        this.txtOperand1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(100, 20);
        this.txtOperand1.TabIndex = 1;
        // 
        // txtResult
        // 
        this.txtResult.BorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.Fixed3D;
        this.txtResult.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(24, 64);
        this.txtResult.Name = "txtResult";
        this.txtResult.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(220, 23);
        this.txtResult.TabIndex = 2;
        // 
        // btnCalc
        // 
        this.btnCalc.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(24, 121);
        this.btnCalc.Name = "btnCalc";
        this.btnCalc.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(126, 23);
        this.btnCalc.TabIndex = 3;
        this.btnCalc.Text = "click here to calculate";
        this.btnCalc.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;
        // 
        // btnExit
        // 
        this.btnExit.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(169, 121);
        this.btnExit.Name = "btnExit";
        this.btnExit.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(75, 23);
        this.btnExit.TabIndex = 4;
        this.btnExit.Text = "exit";
        this.btnExit.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;
        // 
        // frmMain
        // 
        this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(284, 167);
        this.Controls.Add(this.btnExit);
        this.Controls.Add(this.btnCalc);
        this.Controls.Add(this.txtResult);
        this.Controls.Add(this.txtOperand1);
        this.Controls.Add(this.label1);
        this.Name = "frmMain";
        this.StartPosition = System.Windows.Forms.FormStartPosition.CenterScreen;
        this.Text = "Temp Convertor";
        this.ResumeLayout(false);
        this.PerformLayout();

    }
    #endregion

    public frmMain()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        txtResult.Visible = false;
    }

    public static void Main()
    {
        frmMain main = new frmMain();
        Application.Run(main);
    }

    private void btnCalc_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        bool flag;
        double operand1;
        double answer;

        flag = double.TryParse(txtOperand1.Text, out operand1);
        if (flag == false)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Please enter in a correct temp", "Input Eror");
            txtOperand1.Focus();
            return;
        }

        answer = 5.0 / 9.0 * (operand1 - 32);

        txtResult.Text = operand1.ToString() + "is" + answer.ToString() + "Celsius";
        txtResult.Visible = true;
    }

    private void btnExit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Close();
    }

}

I typed in the program as you wrote it and it worked fine. Did you set the project properties so the output is a Windows type?

If that fails, copy the calc code to the clipboard, delete the current calc button, add a new calc button, and then copy the old calc code into the button's click event. Sometimes I think VS get lost and this fixes it. Give it a try.
