So i'm a total noob at programming, I just started with visual basic trying to create a windows app for getting the current price of bitcoin. So far i have created this app here - http://www.filedropper.com/btcpriceapp_1 available for testing, It's free software released under the GPLv3. So far all it it is is a simple windows form app witch has a function to connect to campbx.com/api/xticker.php fetch the current price data and display it in a textbox. The data it grabs is in json format and like i said im very new to programming so json deserialization is a bit over my head right now, But if anyone can help me out with that it would be a great way for me to learn and we could provide the bitcoin community with a nice free app for windows to easily get the price of bitcoin. |

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

Thanks for replying, I took a look at those examples and it still look sort of complicated, I'm still learning functions and classes, Maybe if i had a working example i could better understand what exactly is going on in the code at http://forums.asp.net/t/1699212.aspx/1. I updated the link in the first post it should have all the files now. |

Here is the .exe program http://www.filedropper.com/btcpriceapp_2 , It's doesn't deserialize the data but it could still be useful for windows 8 users like myself that can't use conky or gadgets. Screenshot  |

Very nice Ditto!
I think this will help me to understand JSON now that i see a working example of what it actually does.

Make sure your .Net framework is on version 3.5 or above since the deserializer isn't available in earlier versions. |

Make sure your .Net framework is on version 3 or above since the deserializer isn't available in earlier versions. Will VB 2010 Detect what framework i'm using or do i have to activate it in VB 2010 someway? |

For me the hard part about programming isn't writing the code its just trying to find a project to work on, It seems most of the stuff i would be interested in has already been created. I made this app (With some help) because i wanted to learn VB and at the same time i have an actual need for it since im on windows 8 i don't have gadgets and since im not on linux i cant use conky so i wanted a fast way to price data about bitcoin without having to fire up a browser and type in an address. Making this little app has been a good learning experience for me i know that much. |
