Input.txt

I have this txt and I must perform some calculations

A “Calculate” button o Calculation 1:
If Program, Noun, and Verb are specified. Calculate and display the result of position zero in parameter Result of Calculation 2: If Program and Result are specified. Calculate the noun and verb that produce said result and displays them in their respective fields. noun and verb should always be between 0 and 999. If no result is found, a message indicating this should be displayed. o NOTE: In both cases, an error window should be displayed if there is any unwanted behavior. • Things that will be considered: o Asynchronous calculation to not block the user interface o Parallel calculation to get the results faster"

A made the UI and VM

    private async Task CalculateAction(string num) {
            int[]? intcodeProgram;
            switch (num) {
                case "1":
                    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(programPath)
                        && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(_SustantivoText)
                        && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(VerboText)) {
                        try {
                            intcodeProgram = ReadIntcodeProgramFromFile(programPath!);
                            ModifyIntcodeProgram(intcodeProgram, int.Parse(SustantivoText), int.Parse(VerboText));
                            int result = ExecuteIntcodeProgram(intcodeProgram);

                            res = "The value at position 0 is: " + result;

                            // create a text file with the answer

 <TextBox
            Grid.Row="1"
            Grid.Column="1"

        <TextBox

            Grid.Column="1"
            VerticalAlignment="Center"
            Text="{Binding VerboText, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />

and for the second case, it doesn't want to show anything

    Hello Eduardo,

    Try the following code if it works, let me know:

    private async Task CalculateAction(string num)
{
    int[] intcodeProgram = new int[0];
    switch (num)
    {
        case "1":
            // Check if all required input values are provided
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(programPath)
                && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(SustantivoText)
                && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(VerboText))
            {
                try
                {
                    // Read the Intcode program from the file
                    intcodeProgram = ReadIntcodeProgramFromFile(programPath);

                    // Modify the Intcode program with the provided input values
                    ModifyIntcodeProgram(intcodeProgram, int.Parse(SustantivoText), int.Parse(VerboText));

                    // Execute the Intcode program and get the result
                    int result = ExecuteIntcodeProgram(intcodeProgram);

                    // Display the result
                    string resultMessage = "The value at position 0 is: " + result;
                    MessageBox.Show(resultMessage);

                    // Create a text file with the answer
                    using StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter("answer1.txt");
                    await writer.WriteAsync(resultMessage);
                }
                catch (IOException ex)

    Sorry, the code I provided is incomplete and the exception handling block is cut off. Here is a complete code with exception handling for the two cases, (Let me know if it works as expected):

    using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace IntcodeProgram
{
    public partial class MainForm : Form
    {
        private string programPath;
        private string SustantivoText;
        private string VerboText;

        public MainForm()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private async void RunButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string num = NumTextBox.Text.Trim();

            try
            {
                await CalculateAction(num);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show($"Error: {ex.Message}");
            }
        }

        private async Task CalculateAction(string num)
        {
            int[] intcodeProgram = new int[0];

            switch (num)
            {
                case "1":
                    // Check if all required input values are provided
