Thanks for this, it may help to have a few instructions on setup etc.
I've downloaded and got it running. To those that are interested you will need Net Framework 4, which you may need to download from MS, quite easy. I'm off out now so will see what I have when I get back home.

When I got back after a couple of hours the programme had failed, no reason given other than it needed to close.

Thank you for the update. I am going to recode a little bit to give detailed error output so you can post the detailed error here so that I can fix it. Look for an update within the next day or so on this thread.

I was able to figure out why the forecast was being created even though there was insufficient data, but not why it gave you an outrageous number. Changes as follows with this update.

------------------------------------------
Changes... Build 69 2/16/2012 2:04 AM EDT
1. Added error support. The software should (instead of crashing) give you a detailed error report that you can send to me so I can find solutions.
2. Changed UI to reflect the above.
3. Changed a value in the forecast method to prevent forecasting when there is insufficient data.
4. Minor fix to archiving section to prevent an error in an archived file.
--------------------------------------
Remember, this program requires access to the internet 24/7 and needs to be running 24/7 to work properly. Please continue with the feedback, it is great to know what is going wrong so I can get it fixed. I am also working on a better set of instructions.

If you have an issue with the software it is recommended that you erase all data files created by the previous version of the software since there were some issues with the code that could have allowed erroneous data to be added to those files. If this has happened and you do not clear your data files it is likely that you will experience incorrect forecasts.

I've just had a similar error, after running for about 20mins.

Code:
|| Length cannot be less than zero.
Parameter name: length mscorlib    at System.String.InternalSubStringWithChecks(Int32 startIndex, Int32 length, Boolean fAlwaysCopy)
   at System.String.Substring(Int32 startIndex, Int32 length)
   at Weather_Forecaster.hr12temp.nextval(Int32 spaces)
   at Weather_Forecaster.hr12temp.work(Object sender, EventArgs e)

Thanks to all, I too have come across this error. It is not an error that will cause incorrect operation of the software, but is an error that needs fixing. Again, thanks to all who are testing.

I have fixed another issue.. The program will crash if it loses its internet connection, this is now fixed for the next release, I do believe I have also fixed the other error mentioned earlier in this thread about length of a string being less than zero. I am not going to release it tonight, I will wait until Friday evening local time for the next release. I am currently running the software waiting for new errors to arise, running it through some tough circumstances to find errors. Current build number is 84, if thin number is released tomorrow I have found no new errors :clap: .
Thank you all so much for testing! :mrgreen:

Alright after a busy weekend I have managed to work out a few more kinks and add a little more error support. Just download the new exe and replace your old one. Not going into detail about what I fixed/added.

I cannot find that error, it does not mess anything up, I don't know what it is, I will find it though. Thanks for posting.

Anyone getting any forecasts yet? If so, any accuracy?
