Hi
i have given a project for currency conversion program with add,delete,search,display option. but i was thinking if it can update the currency rate from internet at beginning. i have asked some people but they are not sure if it is possible or not. :o if you guys can help... and if you have nice and better idea..:o
Of course it's possible, but it may not be recommended at your current level.
Here are some options:
curl and libcurl
The Ultimate TCP/IP Home Page - CodeProject
Windows Sockets 2 (Windows)
Windows Internet (Windows)
yes,its quite expert level. is there any easy way or something?
I suggest a linear progression.
- read the rates from the keyboard
- read the rates from a file
- read the rates from a simple text file on the internet
- read the rates from a formatted HTML file on the internet
The other alternative is to pick a different programming language that comes with a lot of "internet" friendly features which make accessing remote data an awful lot easier than it is in C.
I dunno, people pick C, then wonder why there isn't an "easy everything" answer.
