Currency-Converter

Euro Currency Converter (ECB Exchange Rates)

A simple class to convert currencies using the latest European Central Bank exchange rates.

Lazy singleton instance will attempt to fetch and parse current rates from ECB. IsRefresed propperty will be set to True if rates were fetched and parsed correctly. Refresh is forced by invoking Refresh(). Hook this to a timer to get fresh rates every (working) day.

Some examples

CurrencyConverter cvt = CurrencyConverter.Instance;     // Singleton instance

decimal euroValue = cvt.ConvertToEuro(100m, "USD");     // convert 100 USD to €
decimal usdValue = cvt.ConvertFromEuro(100m, "USD");    // convert 100€ to USD

// force refresh in case we have stale data
if (DateTime.UtcNow - cvt.Time < new TimeSpan(24, 0, 0))
            cvt.Refresh();

// was refresh successful?
if (cvt.IsRefresed)
{
            // do cool stuff
}
else
{ 
            // maybe the ECB server is down?
            // wait and try refresing later
}
