Currency Conversion Web Service with Asp .Net

I stumbled upon a excellent Currency Converter Web Service http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx.

So thought of blogging on consuming a web service with Asp .Net.






















Start a new Asp .Net project and Add web reference to the above mentioned web service.

















Here is the code for invoking the ConversionRate method.

CurrencyConvertor.CurrencyConvertor cc = new CurrencyConvertor.CurrencyConvertor();
double dblConv;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}
protected void btnUSDollar_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
dblConv = cc.ConversionRate(CurrencyConvertor.Currency.USD,
CurrencyConvertor.Currency.INR);
lblConversion.Text = dblConv.ToString();
}
A few useful web services
