Nice work, michbex.
I just started using executable.
I couldn't understand meaning of last two columns before the Graph icon?
Also is it possible to give % rise / fall column?
It seems alerts are also not working.
Thanks in advance.

Hey, you are doing a great job here. When will your next version be ready? It would be great to see the decimal point in there and change in % should have a minus sign if the stock is going down. It's very confusing at the moment. Hope to see it soon. Keep up the good work. I haven't found anything like this yet. Cheers!

I noticed this program actually isnt getting the realtime updates. Its still 15 min delayed. Not sure if thats the way it was intended. Just something i noticed.

Loaded and ran on Vista laptop with dial-up connection. 
First-time: had to guess that it wanted me to input a stock symbol.
The plus button (+) did not seem to add a 1 or 2 letter code stock symbols until I padded the symbol with spaces.
It did not show decimal point on price , change or percent change. I.E 13456 instead of 134.56.
Why no chart for A.T & T. (symbol : T) ?
When moved to extreme upper -right corner the setting page popped up off the screen.

Nice job - very interesting. It isn't actually "real time" though, is it? It gives me the same info as my "portfolio" page on yahoo, which is 20 mins delayed.
Some feedback:
* When I first started it, I didn't have .Net3.0 installed, and it crashed with an exception - maybe add some "cleaner" method of checking for the dependency and exiting cleanly.
* Again, when I first started it, the "settings window" appeared directly on top of the "quote display" window. Given the semi-transparency, it looked confusing until I moved the "settings window" to another location (accidentally - I didn't realize that was the issue until it happened).
* I can now add "T" symbol, but I can't remove it (I've successfully removed others)
* Still no decimal points - this makes the displayed info fairly confusing. I know that it's a localization concern, but I think you *really* need to add something that displays the currency seperators.
* I wish the transparency was customizable, but not a big issue.
* where are all the settings stored? IOW, how do I "start fresh" by wiping out the stored info and acting as if I hadn't run it before?
Overall - very good job. It's certainly usable as is - just throwing you some feedback. The decimal point thing really bugs me though.  The "more details" display is great - love it (with the minor exception of lack of decimal points).

OK - settings are stored in "Local Settings\App Data\stockreader.data". Got it. Wiping out that file allowed me to recreate the "pop under" issue that I had with my original "fresh" start.
I guess you're using VS2008? I can't open the sln in 2005 ("unrecognized newer version of VS").
I got an "array out of bounds" exception after letting it run for a little bit (20 mins?). I can't debug, since I can't build/run in VS. I can't help you reproduce, since I wasn't doing anything with the app when it happened - sorry. I had 3 or 4 symbols configured - that's about all that I can tell you. Any questions, let me know (XP-SP2). (I was going to try to give you more info, which is how I determined that I can't open the sln).

Hi, thanks for the feedback.
I have already worked out most of the bugs, they will be online within the next update. The update will actually most likely be click-once deployed, which will always give you an update once I change anything and you ll always have the newest version.
Great that you like it!
Regards from Austria

Hello, this does not appear to work in Windows XP. I have .netFramework 3.5 installed and nothing happens when I run the executable. The task does show up in the task manager...

Do you have XP SP2? Yes
Do you have Internet Connection? Yes, BUT behind a proxy that I need to log into. I'm guessing this is the problem.

As I suspected, it is not an XP issue, it's that the program doesn't prompt to login to my proxy.
