I’m developing a currency converter Application for Windows phone 7. And i set the value manually, I want to know how to read the Currency values from specific web service…. let’s say from this web site… http://www.cbsl.gov.lk/htm/english/_cei/er/e_1.asp
How to do it…. thanks in advance…
If i understand your suggestion above, i advise you not to slice/hack HTML webpages in order to extract data such as conversion rates. The reason is that the day the webpage structure changes it would break your application. Best is to find an API that you can contact and request the data you need. You can check on a search engine for APIs for currency rates. For example, i found this one. http://openexchangerates.org/latest.json
So, once you have selected an API, you can use WebClient to call it and then handle the responses.
