Another ASP.NET Weather control

  • Article

Apparently, Weather.com provides free XML data feed. However, you have to register. If you don't mind, Milan Negovan developed an ASP.NET control that works with the feed. I am not sure if Weather.com feed provides forecast data though.

    EJSE has a free 9-Day weather forecast webservice. It's trivial to wrap this in a web control...

    Weather.com does provide a forecast in its XML feed. It's all about how you format your request. Right now my control requests only current conditions.

    As to other, alternative weather web services---my biggest concern is how committed they are to stick around. If their service flips you'll have to write a new control (or adjust the current) one for another provider. Weather.com has been around for a while and is quite dependable.

    My only problem with weather.com is that their IT staff is awfully unresponsive. You send them an email and never hear back. It's a shame.
