Get the Exchange Rates for the given Currency using X++

I did MSN search and found a public web service; webservicex.net that provides a public currency converter web service.
This code snippet accesses a public web service to get the exchange rate for a given currency using x++.

static void GetExchangeRates(Args _args)

{

com com = new com('microsoft.xmlhttp');

com com1;

XMLDocument xmlDoc;

Dialog exchDialog = new Dialog("Exchange Rates");

DialogField fromField;

DialogField ToField;

str url;

;

fromField = exchDialog.addField(Types::String, 'Base Currency');

fromField.value(CompanyInfo::find().CurrencyCode);

ToField = exchDialog.addField(Types::String, 'To Currency');

if(exchDialog.run())

{

url = "http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx/ConversionRate?";

url += "FromCurrency=" +strupr(fromField.value())+"&ToCurrency="+strupr(ToField.value());
com.open("get",url, false);

com.send();

com1 = com.responsexml();

xmlDoc = XmlDocument::newXml(com1.xml());

info("1 "+fromField.value() + " = " +xmlDoc.getNamedElement('double').text() + " " +ToField.value());

}

}
