Neural Nettwork (ANN) Extension

[litdev]

JR,

This is just setting or getting a variable used by the extension.  In many cases properties are just set or get with an = in Small Basic, for example: GraphicsWindow.BackgroundColor, this can be set with:

GraphicsWindow.BackgroundColor  = "Red"

Or we can get the value with:

colour = GraphicsWindow.BackgroundColor

However, in this case the property also needs to pass in an argument "Name" to identify the ANN to set the property for and we use a method with arguments for this.  And to determine if the value is to be set or not, there is a flag argument called "Get".  Since a method function can return a value, it always returns the current value (seems reasonable).  This may be a bit confusing, but seems logical enough to me?

Perhaps, your question is more to do with the implementation code reported by ILSpy in C# you highlight in your question, or perhaps to do with the use of NeuralNetwork.BinaryOutput method, or maybe just the intellisense (which I added since there was none with the original extension dll).

But for its use, it is just a property used by one of potentially several ANNs, with arguments identifying the ANN, the value to set (if we are setting), a flag to say if we are getting or setting the value, and the return is always the current value.  I suppose we could have 2 functions, one for set and one for get, but its not obvious to me that is easier to understand.
