I am trying to write a program that allows user input information and plot a bifurcation diagram that looks like this:I haven't program in 2 years:sick: so I am all rusty and such. Here is what I have got so far and more information about what I am doing.
Bifurcation:
f(x) = kx(1-x)
and k = xL + i * (xR-xL) / 500
when i runs from 0 to 500, it plots (i, f(seed)), (i, f(f(seed)), .... up to the boundary number.Here is what I have got so far. Everything seems normal, however, I am really confused when it comes to plotting.

Environment: .Net 3.5 VB.net (C#ok too) I wrote a multi-project WinForms app that needs to load a couple dozen variables from a client section of a config file based on user's selection of client. Also some program variables need to be loaded as well. So far so good, I put them in an app.config file.In the appsettings section I put the main program variables. e.g.

I want to write the connection string of my application in app.config file. I dont know how to write it or how to dynamically change it from my application source code either. My App.config file shows like..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.diagnostics>
[Code]....
I have a program with various settings, all stored in the app.config file. Often, I have a need to edit the connection string setting. I cannot do so using the My.Settings.myConnectionStringVariable method, as this is read-only. What I would like to do is have a big text box, and simply load the entire app.config file into it. The user could modify whatever they wanted, click save, and the program would save the new edits to the app.config file, and restart the program. I don't have a huge need to only pull out the connection string, as getting the text for the entire config file would suffice. However, if it is easier to pull out just the connection string from the config file, that would work too.

A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (txtTitle="<b>jjj</b>").

I'm currently in VB class at my highschool and we just got chapter 6.1 to read on this online textbook that we follow. Anyway, we are doing loops now and the problem reads "Write a program to request positive numbers one at a time from the user in an input dialog box. The user should be instructed to enter -1 after all the positive numbers have been supplied. At that time, the program should display the sum of the numbers." So far I know this much
[Code]...
Now I know this isn't right But I can't find out how I'd pull out the numbers the user entered to get the sum of them and not include -1 because as it stands, when I hit ENTER with -1 the label just shows -1.
My objective is to, instead of entering in the data manually into the text boxes, I want to read in a textfile. The Calculate button will contain the code to read in the file and assign it to the appropriate textboxes. Save the separate file in the \bin\Debug folder.
The text file just needs to have 3 integers on 3 separate lines.The code I posted works without and errors, but.I am having some trouble integrating the Stream Reader.

I'm looking for a way to specify the location for the User.config file that is used for storing the My.Settings object. It appears that this is not possible. The problem for me is, I don't want to be responsible for creating several different files on the users computer that really have no use and are difficult to find and clean once an update is released. For most users, this is not a serious problem, as many will probably never update the software, and most will probably only go through a couple of updates. On my system, there are config files for every build of the application, and the same to a lesser extent will be true for my beta testers.
I can understand that MS wants to make sure that no two applications will use the same location for storing application data, but a simple [UserData] [CompanyName][ApplicationName] for storing application data will probably suffice for 99.9999 percent of the legitimate applications in the world. Bogging a user's system down with erroneous files, no matter how small, is an unnecessary drain on system resources and a potential source of problems for the user. It's bad enough that most programs leave bits and pieces of themselves all over a user's system after De-installation - this to me seems only to exaggerate this problem.
Is the only way to get around this problem to write a whole new Settings Class? Is there a way to change the location of the UserConfig file to a more friendly (and more predictable) location that I am not finding for myself? It would seem that having at least the OPTION to specify a location for the User.Config file would be OBVIOUS and easy to implement, so why did they leave this out?
How can I get my app. to remember the text that was enterd into a TextBox by a user?
View 3 RepliesIs there equivalent for getevn/setenv functions in VB.NET. I have looked at system.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable but it gives the system environment variables like USERNAME, COMPUTERNAME etc. I need to get the variables that are stored in config.user file. Is there any way to do that in VB>NET.
View 2 RepliesSomehow the User.Config file was corrupted for an instance of my VB .NET app. When access one of my user level config property (My.Settings.MyProp) I get the a ConfigurationErrorsException with the message "Configuration system failed to initialize." I looked at the User.Config file and found that it is empty, it can be opened but there is no XML text contained within.I would like to programmatically fix the file if an exception is seen. When I attempt to use any of my user level properties, I continue to get the same exception. I've tried calling the Reset() but that yeilds the same exception. I then tried Save() to see if it would write out a default version, but it appears to do nothing (the file is not updated). My.Settings appears to be useless at this point.How can I reinitialize the User.Config file to the default config settings without deleting the old file? I would think that there should be some mechanism for restoring this file back to its default. And how can I update/reinitialize the My.Settings instance so that I can access the properties normally?
View 17 RepliesI made a project in VB.NET 2008. When I update my project I change the assembly version but the problem is that when the user gets the new version they lose their user settings.[code]Note the version number in the path.

View 1 RepliesI have a program that runs fine in the debugger. I started on the project in x86 mode this January and I've always been able to run it outside of the debugger, but this is the first time I've seen this error.The error says "ConfigurationErrorException was unhandled: Configuration system failed to initialize."The InnerException of the error said that the error was in the user.config file, and it gave me the directory of the user.config file that it was using. So I clicked synchronize in the project settings thinking that it would overwrite the current user.config file and that would probably fix the error. When it showed the confirmation dialog that it would delete the user.config file, I noticed that it had "vshost" in the directory.
View 1 RepliesAfter reading through a bunch of stuff, I was curious what production developers use for config files. I know that there is an app.config file that can be modified by the user of the program w/ settings. I also know I can create my own .xml file or .ini file to store settings as well. I wanted to know from the production side, what do you use and why?
View 1 RepliesI am just not happy with the fact that the user.config file gtets saved in the user's account folder. Is there a way to save it in the Application's Startup Folder instead? I couldn't find any configuration properties within the PROJECT PROPERTIES which would let me change the file location.
View 2 RepliesI know that when using my.settings that when I exit my app that it saves them and then next reload it imports my.settings back.

I am using VS2005 version of VB.Net programmer. I wanted to use the user input but most people tell me to use console...but I cannot use this function since my version is different, it will not show any results. I found that using mask textbox can use to read the user input but I don't know how the code can be written. I want user to input two number such as 1.345 and 2.355 and use this number for addition and give the answer. I not sure how I write the code for mask textbox to be read once user input the numbers.

I made a custom control in which there is a textbox but I want it used only as an output control, for showing text and stuff. Problem is that as soon as my form opens up the focus is turned to the textbox and I cannot catch my keyboard events on the form anymore(since the other controls are pictureboxes). I need a way to make this box "unclickable" or any way in which it is impossible to attribute the focus.[url]...
I'm trying to make a program where user can input data from a textbox into an array and when the user hit the enter key, it compare it to a data grab from a text file. Here is my code so far:

I got the part where the program can graph data from text file and put it into an array called "varia3". The part I could not get is allowing user to enter data into the textbox. When I run the program, the sec I try to enter a letter or number into the textbox the program ended.
