Consuming the Live Currency Conversion Web Service in asp.net C#

 Consuming the Live Currency Conversion Web Service in asp.net C#



Step 1)  Add Currency/Exchange convertor WebService Service reference into ASP.NET Application.

Here I choose   http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?WSDL   



Step 2)Add 2 DropDownList and 1 button control and one Label to Aspx page(as shown below)

 <td class="auto-style1">
                    <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1From" runat="server"></asp:DropDownList></td>
                </td>
                <td class="auto-style2">
                   
                <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1To" runat="server"></asp:DropDownList></td>
            </tr>
            <tr><td colspan="2">
                <asp:Button ID="btnConvertCurrency"
                    runat="server" Text="Convert"
                    OnClick="btnConvertCurrency_Click"
                    BackColor="Blue"
                    ForeColor="white"
                    Font-Size="1em" Font-Names="Comic Sans MS"
                     />
                </td></tr>
            <tr><td class="auto-style1">

                <asp:Label
                    ID="lblCurrencyValue"
                     runat="server"
                    Text="Converted Value Here..."
                     ForeColor="Black"
                     BackColor="Goldenrod"
                    
                    Font-Size="2em" Font-Names="Comic Sans MS"
                    Width="300px">
                </asp:Label>

Step 3) Load Currency Codes to DropDownList


  void LoadCurrencyCodes()
        {
        try
        {
        String[] CurCodes = Enum.GetNames(typeof(CurService.Currency));

        DropDownList1To.DataSource = CurCodes; DropDownList1To.DataBind();
        DropDownList1From.DataSource = CurCodes; DropDownList1From.DataBind();
        DropDownList1From.Items.Insert(0, "--From-");
        DropDownList1To.Items.Insert(0, "--To-");
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
        Response.Write(ex.Message);
        }
        }




Step 4) In the Convert Button Event handler

Call web Service Method



        protected void btnConvertCurrency_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
        String from = DropDownList1From.SelectedValue as String; String to = DropDownList1To.SelectedValue as String;
        double convValue = client.ConversionRate((CurService.Currency)Enum.Parse(typeof(CurService.Currency), from),
                               (CurService.Currency)Enum.Parse(typeof(CurService.Currency), to));

        lblCurrencyValue.Text = convValue.ToString();

        }

Step 5) Here Currency converter Namespace is CurService
CurService.CurrencyConvertorSoapClient client = new CurService.CurrencyConvertorSoapClient();


Here is the Output
