Weather.com XML Data Feed?

[Carlos Albert]

Hello everybody

Did anybody use the weather.com xml data feed? Cause I'm stuck and don't
know how to use it, or how is SHOULD be used under ASP.NET 2.0 / VS2005.

Tnx!

You can parse it using the Standard XML classes.

Or even better - NOAA offers weather in SOAP XML. This will allow you to
retrieve weather via a webservice (just like a function call):

http://www.weather.gov/xml/

Don't you happen yo have any link with info about this? Cause I'm not to
used to work with XML outside SQL datasets, and I'm stuck at this.

Would be really great, but only covers USA, you know? =)

Do you have a URL so that we can look at an example feed?

Well what exactly do you want to do with the feed? ASP.NET 2.0 has
XmlDataSource
<http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e8d8587a(en-US,VS.80).aspx>
to bind XML data to .NET 2.0 data-bound controls like an asp:TreeView or
asp:Repeater.

There are a gazillion XML tutorials online... You can use either an
XMLReader or XMLDocument to parse the document.

Check out these articles for more info (or google for millions more):

Tnx everybody.

Seems I was not stuck with the XMLdocument, it was a problem with the
download function I was using. ^^

Thanks!
