You seriously expect someone to be able to tell you what's wrong when you don't show us the code you're using the define and populate this list, the code to save the list in Settings, where you're saving the settings, nor any exception messages?

I am not looking for the answer I am looking for the answer to where I would look to get the information to complete this assignment. Can anyone please help with where I would look to get information on this?
allow the user to enter one software developer's name, ZIP Code, and monthly gross pay. After the user has entered the data, the program should display on the console the software developer's name, ZIP Code, monthly gross pay, and taxes paid for that month. Taxes are set at 7% of the monthly gross pay.

Your course materials and instructor would be a best place to start.
You're not going to find "more information" on this assignment from anywhere else. It's an incredibly easy assignment covering the basics of writing strings to the console, reading strings from it, variable usage and a little bit of math.

What you've described is a "use case".
You take that and create a "model" of the solution using software design "tools" like UML or "structured analysis and design".
At some point, you decide how data gets "in and out".
In your case, is this a "console app"? A "windows app"? A web app?
Each requires different strategies for "input and output"?
Which "application model" are you using?

What kind of teacher gives an assignment without explaining that vital part?
If your teacher cannot explain it, then buy the book "Head first C#" and ask the school whether you can get your money back.

Hello friends
I have a MONTANA 680 GPS device and I want to extract NMEA sentences from the device by VB.Net. My GPS radio has the option "NMEA IN/OUT" among other settings. My ASUS laptop has no COM port. It has only usb ports. I use SERIALPORT object to read the NMEA sentences. But the code gives the error COM port,say, com3, does not exist. Do I need to make some special setting on my GPS radio? How do I code to access and get NMEA sentences? I use Visual Basic.NET programming language.
Thank you very much for your help.

In a VS 2017 project, I have an ellipsis (...) in the title bar next to the minimize button. Never saw that before. It doesn't react to the mouse, and vanishes if I maximize the window. Comes back when the window isn't maximized. Resizing the window doesn't affect it. It's there when debugging and in design mode. Why? Anyone?

I have never seen that as far as I am aware. Does the mouse cursor change when you move it over the ellipsis?

No reaction at all. It's just there. I created a new form just to see if it showed up again but it isn't.

Very strange, just one of those random bugs I guess. You may like to keep the project code and try reporting it to Microsoft.

I probably will. It's odd enough to generate a bit of curiosity but not doing any harm.

I just replicated it with a simple test, and it's not a bug, but a feature. If the text of the title will not fit the title bar, then trailing characters are replaced by an ellipsis.
Go to the form designer and check the text of your form's title. I will bet it has a lot of spaces after the actual text. Alternatively, a lot of spaces and then some extra characters.

That's not it. The ellipsis would be at the end of the text. This is beside the minimize button and the text is just two words. I added a better screen capture[^] below the first one where the text is visible.

Yes, and I bet if you go to the form's Design window in Visual Studio, and check the properties of the title you will find lots of spaces following the text. That's why the ellipsis disappears when you increase the width of the Window, because all the characters can fit into the title bar.

OK, where the heck did all the spaces come from? Never encountered that before.
Thank you!

You have three dots; according to the Ux-Guide from MS they should be used in a menu if the menu is to open a new window.

It's just plain old Winforms.

You may have some "utility" installed that injects a button into the title-bar of some application; yours being a form in design-mode, it may not hook up its designed functionality.

Can't imagine what that might be. Not using any 3rd party products in the project. And I created another form in the project. It did not have the ellipsis. Copied all the controls from the original, still no ellipsis.
I was mistaken about one thing: Resizing the window does eventually affect it. Once the width hits about 1000 the ellipsis disappears. Comes back when the width is decreased.

I wasn't referring to anything in the project, but a utility outside of it, that's part of another application. If you want to draw a button on the title bar of a form of another application, you often try to determine the correct window with some parameters. Those may just be equal to the one you were designing.

So the target is a window that never becomes larger than 1000 pixels.
