C# Example Code

Below is an example C# program that does the same thing as the "Demo" program that ships with Netica C-API.  There is a Visual Studio project for it, called "Netica Demo for C#" within the "Netica\Netica xxx\Programming Examples" folder of the Netica download package. (more info on programming Netica in C#)

using Netica;

string net_file_name = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "..\\..\\..\\ChestClinic.dne";

 

Streamer file = app.NewStream(net_file_name, null);

BNet net = app.ReadBNet(file, "");

net.Compile();

BNode TB = net.Nodes.get_Item("Tuberculosis");

double bel = TB.GetBelief("present");

Console.WriteLine("The probability of tuberculosis is " + bel.ToString("G4"));

 

BNode XRay = net.Nodes.get_Item("XRay");

XRay.EnterFinding("abnormal");
