Dear faisal I will guide you through the process of creating simple currency converter using Foxrate.com XML RPC API. This API is free to use. to implement this in your site. just go through with following :- In order to connect to the XML-RPC API, you will need an XML-RPC client. First of all add latest version of "CookComputing.XmlRpc" to your project. I have used ver 2.5 in my project, since it has some bug fixed related to permission and security when running on live server. you will get dll here Source : XML-RPC client DLL download link: http://xmlrpcnet.googlecode.com/files/xml-rpc.net.2.5.0.zip References : Add this dll in youe project after that. Add following references in your code behind files: using System.Collections; using CookComputing.XmlRpc; Now, the code behind activity by defining endpoint and creating an Interface. XmlRpcUrl("http://foxrate.org/rpc/")] public interface IXchangeRate { [XmlRpcMethod("foxrate.currencyConvert")] XmlRpcStruct GetXchangerate( string from, string to, double amount); // Please note that Foxrate.org RPC accepts "Float" data type however, CookComputing.XmlRpc does not provide support for "Float", thus we use double instead. } //Create function to fetch rates in real time. public void GetRates(string strTo, string strFrom, double dAmount) { IXchangeRate proxy = (IXchangeRate)XmlRpcProxyGen.Create(typeof(IXchangeRate)); XmlRpcStruct MyStruct; MyStruct = proxy.GetXchangerate(strTo, strFrom, dAmount); foreach (DictionaryEntry d in MyStruct) { Response.Write(d.Key + " : " + d.Value); } } Finally call the function as under: GetRates("INR", "USD", "10.0?); You can also visit the working sample, I implemented on of live site: http://shapemyyatra.com/currency-converter.aspx
