Introduction:
Here I will explain how to implement currency conversion as per exchange rates in asp.net using Google finance api web service in jQuery or jQuery Google currency conversion finance api web service to convert currency as per exchange rates in asp.net.
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 implement currency conversion as per exchange rates in asp.net using Google finance api webservice in jQuery. To implement this functionality we can use Google Currency conversion API.

Now I will explain how to implement currency conversion as per exchange rates in asp.net using Google finance api webservice 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>

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
