.NET From India

IndiaStockQuotes Version 1.2.1

It has been a long time since I actually worked on the IndiaStockQuotes component. Just had sometime over the weekend and fixed some bugs in the component and got out a new release. Also upgraded the component from .NET 2.0 to 3.5. I dont yet use any 3.5 specific features, so you should be able to recompile the source agains 2.0 and still get it to run.

India Stock Quote Component version 1.2.0 Released

Ok, finally finished the basic things I wanted in place for the 1.2.0 release. Checked in the code today morning and have also created a release for this version.

New Features

1. Create a Interface that will allow you to just switch websites from where you want to get the quote. Out of the box, this release supports, Yahoo India and NSE India sites.
2. Added the NSE India provider. This only supports quotes as of now as the NSE charts are based on java applets.
3. So reorganization of code to make it more maintainable and some additional comments to help you, if you are looking at the code.

India Stock Quotes Component

I had written a small component as a part of my Vista Gadget attempt sometime back to get the stock quote for Indian Shares from the Yahoo Finance Site. I kind of left that out in my blog for a long time and then this week I wanted a similar component for something else.

So I just took the old component and then cleaned it up and created a CodePlex project for it. I will be updating this component based on what I need and then updates will depend on feature request.

India Stock Quotes (from Yahoo Finance)

Update: I updated the component over the weekend to also send the Chart images. This feature is not available in version 1.1

Indian Stock Quotes

I am thinking of writing a personal portfolio manager application and so started searching for some kind of a stock quote service. I am unable to find any free web service or programmer friendly stock quote service for the indian stock market. Anyone have come across a decent one? I am ok with a delayed quote.

Or do I have to resort to screen scraping?? :-(
