    <p>The error is exactly as the compiler says. You cannot use <code>var</code> when initializing with a method group. From the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb384061.aspx" rel="nofollow">documentation</a>, with my emphasis:</p> <blockquote> <p>var can only be used when a local variable is declared and initialized in the same statement; the variable cannot be initialized to null, or to a <strong>method group</strong> or an anonymous function.</p> </blockquote> <p>In your code, <code>ButtonEquals_Click</code> is a method group.</p> <p>You have to explicitly state the type of the variable if you wish to initialize it with a method group.</p> <p>However, it's fairly obvious that you do not really want to assign a method group to a local variable. Exactly what you are trying to do, I cannot discern from here. </p> <p>It looks to me like you have not quite grasped event driven programming. You need to wait until the user clicks the button, and then respond to that button click in the event handler. The thing to learn about event handlers is that the system calls them, and you do not.</p> <p>So, perhaps what you need to do is move the code inside the if statement into the <code>ButtonEquals_Click</code> event handler. You'll still have plenty of compiler errors when you do that, but it's a step in the right direction.</p> <p>The next step for you, I think, is to try to understand event driven programming a bit more. Start from an empty project and add a couple of buttons. Add click event handlers that do different things. For example, they might call <code>MessageBox.Show</code> with different messages. Then run the program and click on the buttons. Note that the button event handlers only execute when the user clicks the button. Then take a look at your code. Notice how your code does nothing in the <code>ButtonEquals_Click</code> event handler, but is attempting to some how invoke that event from <code>ButtonTimes_Click</code>. Make sure that you fully understand that events are invoked by the framework in response to user input before you proceed.</p>

    1. COSorry, I might have been a little ambiguous what I am aiming to achieve, is for when the button equals is clicked, I aim for it to run the IF statement so that the final calculation can be completed.

    2. COI'll try that, however that has always brought me to the not in current context error, which I have never found a fix for apart from putting it into the same block of code.

    3. COIf you need information to be available in both event handlers, you'll have to find a way to make it available to both. I tried to explain why you got the error message. I cannot write the rest of your program for you. Your fundamental problem is that you have not yet fully grasped event driven programming. That's what you need to get on top of next.
