C# calculator that adds numbers together

I want to add two strings together like a calculator, not next to each other. This is my code:

        void MainAdd()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("");
            string Add1 = Console.ReadLine();
            Console.WriteLine("");
            string Add2 = Console.ReadLine();
            string add = Add1 + Add2;
            Console.WriteLine(add);
            startcode();
        }

How can I make it work like a calculator?

Please read about built in types, you can't do numerical operations on string (text):

int Add1 = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
int Add2 = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
int add = Add1 + Add2;
Console.WriteLine(add);

Also, this was just an example, you should never trust the user to enter the right thing, Use TryParse.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    double add1 = InputValue("Input first addend");
    double add2 = InputValue("Input second addend");

    double sum = add1 + add2;
    Console.WriteLine("Sum: " + sum);
}

static double InputValue(string message)
{
    double value;
    string input;

    do
    {
        Console.WriteLine(message);
        input = Console.ReadLine();
    }
    while (!double.TryParse(input, out value));

    return value;
}

int add = Int32.Parse(Add1) + Int32.Parse(Add2);
Console.WriteLine(add);
