How to create a single webpage that does simple calculations? With Visual Studio?

Question

My only experience with Visual Studio (Community 2022) was to develop a C++ Windows UI application using the built-in forms designer. It worked well; the main difficulty was learning the Visual Studio project options needed to get started.

Now, unrelated, I'd like to use Visual Studio to create a single webpage that: (1) presents a form prompting for numeric values, (2) performs simple arithmetic using those values, and (3) displays several results on the same page.

No server side programming. I just want the page to work in a browser.

I think Visual Studio can do this, but the project options are bewildering!

As I don't know HTML, I'd like to create the page via a forms designer -- and use an easy language (JavaScript?) for the calculations.

So I'd appreciate learning if Visual Studio is an appropriate tool, and what options need to be selected to get started.

Thank you.

Hi @Mark Elfield ,
If you want to use webform, I suggest you install web form library firstly. You could select "create webform page in asp.net visual studio" in the browser and you could find the video about installing and creating webform.
About the javascript, you could follow the Javascript.com.

Best regards,
