    Pretty Nice Weather API dll

    I just found this while looking around, it seems pretty nice. It's a dll to reference in your project that pulls maps and weather from google. All the source code is included! Check it out, I'm working on an app with it right now.

    Animaonline Weather API - Home

    There is a source code tab on the page as well.

    Programming would be so much easier without all the users.

    Re: Pretty Nice Weather API dll

    I went ahead and made a weather app (small simple app...) with this dll. The dll is of course included in the download.
    For the field, you can enter [City, State] or [ZIP]
    examples:
    Dallas, TX
    76116
    Amsterdam
    Dubai

    Results come back with conditions for current and 4 day forecast


    Edit: Updated rar file with published copy, as not everyone will have the DevExpress pack. Without the DevExpress, you can not build the project. Sorry bout that everyone.

    Re: Pretty Nice Weather API dll

    Well, one more update- I realized that because I used the DevExpress 8.3, other people who don't have it can't even run the app. So, I redid it using only common controls, no addons, and added some cosmetic changes (icon, etc). Here is the newest version, but this link will also update over time as I add new features and make it better.

    Re: Pretty Nice Weather API dll

    Ok, I have made more updates, and this has turned into an actual project for me now. Jordan, or whoever, if you want to move this to the projects, that's fine.

    Anyways, instead of constantly uploading files to here, I've hosted this project on cweather - Project Hosting on Google Code

    Newest updates:
    AutoUpdate Refresh interval, user selectable (between 1 minute and 4 hours)
    Window location, last city entered, interval, all saved as settings and restored on next run.
    App auto updates whenever I make changes to it.

    Re: Pretty Nice Weather API dll

    Final note: If you want to watch the progress, you can download the actual app from here:
    http://jmangum.codecall.net/weather/setup.exe
    It is set to autoUpdate as I publish newer builds, so no need to download it again after that.
    Latest updates:
    Auto Refresh interval, user selectable, between 1 minute and 4 hours
    Settings, including window location, last city entered, auto refresh selection are now saved on exit
    Program no longer crashes when a bad city is entered.
    No longer using ANY DevExpress items.
