I'm trying to add a new calendar from GUI, is it possible or not?
I can retrieve all calendars but don't know how to add.

//Retrieve all calendars for an account
   private CalendarFeed RetrievingOwnGoogleCalendars()
   {
     CalendarService myService = new CalendarService("exampleCo-exampleApp-1");
     myService.setUserCredentials(textBoxUsrName.Text, textBoxPassword.Text);

     CalendarQuery query = new CalendarQuery();
     query.Uri = new Uri ("http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/default/owncalendars/full");
     CalendarFeed resultFeed = myService.Query(query);
     return resultFeed;
    }

Need a method to add a new one.

I don't think you will be able to add new data from the way you are getting information is the code you have given.
But, you can do that using Google API's provided by Google.

I am already using Google API. The second link u gave me, i think it could light my way, but i can not figure out that code;

if($noAppCal) {

// I actually had to guess this method based on Google API's "magic" factory
$appCal = $gdataCal -> newListEntry();
// I only set the title, other options like color are available.
$appCal -> title = $gdataCal-> newTitle("App Calendar");

//This is the right URL to post to for new calendars...
//Notice that the user's info is nowhere in there
$own_cal = "http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/default/owncalendars/full";

//And here's the payoff.
//Use the insertEvent method, set the second optional var to the right URL
$gdataCal->insertEvent($appCal, $own_cal);

I found the answer;

public CalendarEntry CreateCalendar(string title, string summary, string timezone, bool ispublic)
{
    CalendarEntry calendar = new CalendarEntry();
    calendar.Title.Text = title;
    calendar.Summary.Text = summary;
    calendar.TimeZone = timezone;


    Uri postUri = new Uri("https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/default/owncalendars/full");
    CalendarEntry createdCalendar = (CalendarEntry) _calendarService.Insert(postUri, calendar);

    return createdCalendar;
}
