  3. Double-click the New Operation label and implement its event as follows:
     
    Private Sub lblNewOperationClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, 
                                          ByVal e As System.EventArgs) 
                                          Handles lblNewOperation.Click
            Dim Operand1 As Integer
            Dim Operand2 As Integer
    
            Dim rndNumber As Random = New Random()
    
            Operand1 = rndNumber.Next(99)
            Operand2 = rndNumber.Next(99)
            Dim Result As Integer = operand1 + operand2
    
            lblOperand1.Text = CStr(Operand1)
            lblOperand2.Text = CStr(Operand2)
            txtResult.Text = ""
            txtResult.Focus()
    End Sub
  4. In the Class Name combo box, select lblCheckAnswer
  5. In the Method Name combo box, select Click and implement its event as follows:
     
    Private Sub lblCheckAnswerClick(ByVal sender As Object, 
                                         ByVal e As System.EventArgs) 
                                         Handles lblCheckAnswer.Click
            Dim Operand1 As Integer
            Dim Operand2 As Integer
            Dim Result As Integer
    
            Try
    
                Operand1 = CInt(lblOperand1.Text)
            Catch
                MsgBox("Invalid Value")
            End Try
    
            Try
                Operand2 = CInt(lblOperand2.Text)
            Catch
                MsgBox("Invalid Value")
            End Try
    
            Try
                Result = CInt(txtResult.Text)
    
                If Result = (Operand1 + Operand2) Then
                    MsgBox("WOW - Good Answer")
                Else
                    MsgBox("PSSST - Wrong Answer")
