Best thing to do is to post the code you have so we can look at it and (hopefully) tell you where you are going wrong!
Presumably you convert the strings to numeric - that's probably where the fault lies - but without the code it's hard to help further.

Region Settings may cause a problem - the comma can be a Decimal Separator instead of Thousand Separator.

Solution 1

Parse the (operand) text boxes Text property to obtain Decimal values (see Decimal.Parse[^]).
Add the two Decimal operands in order to obtain their (Decimal) sum
Obtain a good-formatted string, calling sum.Format with the ppropriate arguments (see "Standard Numeric Format Strings"[^]).
