char Operator; [...]
cout << "Please Choose An Operator (+; -; *; /): " << "\n";

You forgot to read Operator here. Try:

cin >> Operator;

switch(Operator)
{

Non-standard header.

int main()
{
int Number1;
int Number2;
char Operator;
cout << "Please Type A Number: " << "\n";
cin >> Number1;
cout << "Please Type Another Number: " << "\n";
cin >> Number2;
cout << "Please Choose An Operator (+; -; *; /): " << "\n";

Where do you get Operator from? YOu never input it.
