I got a school project. I have to make a currency converter and I got stuck. I found something on the Code Project web site, but I am new at this and I do not really know how to implement it in my project.
I tried something like `
public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
{
public MainPage()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
this.NavigationCacheMode = NavigationCacheMode.Required;
}
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
}
class WebClient
{
internal string DownloadString(string url)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
url = "https://openexchangerates.org/api/latest.json?app_id=ae11142304694b10a1dbf2d25933a333";
var currencyRates = _download_serialized_json_data<App9.CurrencyRates>(url);
}
}
public static T _download_serialized_json_data<T>(string url) where T : new()
{
var w = new WebClient();
{
//using (var w = new WebClient()) {
var json_data = string.Empty;
// attempt to download JSON data as a string
try
{
json_data = w.DownloadString(url);
}
catch (Exception) { }
// if string with JSON data is not empty, deserialize it to class and return its instance
return !string.IsNullOrEmpty(json_data) ? JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(json_data) : new T();
}
}
private void comboBoxTo_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
}
private void convertButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (amountTb.Text == string.Empty)
{
afisareTb.Text = "Scrieti o valoare";
}
else
{
var currencyRates = _download_serialized_json_data<CurrencyRates>("https://openexchangerates.org/api/latest.json?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID ");
}
}
}
`
I do not have any errors, it is just that, when I press on converter button from my app, nothing happens.
