Asp.net Google Currency Converter JSON API Example in jQuery

By: Suresh Dasari Jan 5, 2013
Categories: , , , , ,
Introduction: 

Here I will explain how to create asp.net Google currency converter using json api in jQuery.

Description:
  
In previous articles I explained jQuery upload multiple files using uploadify plugin, jQuery Shake or Vibrate or Rotate image, Change the style of tooltip in jQuery, jQuery Countdown timer script example, jQuery Increase or Decrease font size of website, Redirect to another page after some time delay and many articles relating to JQuery and asp.net. Now I will explain how to create asp.net Google currency converter using json api in jQuery. To implement this functionality we can use Google Currency conversion API.

Actually Google has implemented currency conversion tool by using that we can get latest currency details and Google has provided json api also by using that we can implement this functionality in our website.

To implement this functionality we need to write the code like as shown below


<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>jQuery Google Currency Conversion in Asp.net</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#btnConvert').click(function() {
var amount = $('#txtAmount').val();
var from = $('#ddlfrom').val();
var to = $('#ddlto').val();
$.ajax({ type: "POST",
url: "WebService.asmx/CurrencyConversion",
data: "{amount:" + amount + ",fromCurrency:'" + from + "',toCurrency:'" + to + "'}",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function(data) {
$('#currency_converter_result').html(data.d);
}
});
});
});
</script>
</head>

If you observe above code in header section I mentioned url field as “WebService.asmx/CurrencyConversion” this mean we are calling CurrencyConversion method from WebService.asmx webservice.

To creat this webservice right click on your application >> Select Add New Item >> select Web Service >> click OK
Once webservice created open code behind file and write the following code

C# Code


using System.Net;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
using System.Web.Services;

/// <summary>
/// Summary description for WebService
/// </summary>
[WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
// To allow this Web Service to be called from script, using ASP.NET AJAX, uncomment the following line.
[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]
public class WebService : System.Web.Services.WebService {
[WebMethod]
public string CurrencyConversion(decimal amount, string fromCurrency, string toCurrency)
{
WebClient web = new WebClient();
string url = string.Format("http://www.google.com/ig/calculator?hl=en&q={2}{0}%3D%3F{1}", fromCurrency.ToUpper(), toCurrency.ToUpper(), amount);
string response = web.DownloadString(url);
Regex regex = new Regex(@":(?<rhs>.+?),");
string[] arrDigits = regex.Split(response);
string rate = arrDigits[3];
return rate;
}
}
VB.NET Code:


Imports System.Net
Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions
Imports System.Web.Services

' To allow this Web Service to be called from script, using ASP.NET AJAX, uncomment the following line.
<System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService()> _
<WebService(Namespace:="http://tempuri.org/")> _
<WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo:=WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)> _
Public Class WebService2
Inherits System.Web.Services.WebService
<WebMethod()> _
Public Function CurrencyConversion(ByVal amount As Decimal, ByVal fromCurrency As String, ByVal toCurrency As String) As String
Dim web As New WebClient()
Dim url As String = String.Format("http://www.google.com/ig/calculator?hl=en&q={2}{0}%3D%3F{1}", fromCurrency.ToUpper(), toCurrency.ToUpper(), amount)
Dim response As String = web.DownloadString(url)
Dim regex As New Regex(":(?<rhs>.+?),")
Dim arrDigits As String() = regex.Split(response)
Dim rate As String = arrDigits(3)
Return rate
End Function
End Class
