get Bitcoin price using asp.net

[kieran5405]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to get the buying and selling bitcoin price using .NET from the mt gox or similar site . 

I have looked at the API sites and nothing seems to be aimed at .NET.

Thanks for any pointers and help...

First, use System.Net.WebClient to retrieve the content from

http://data.mtgox.com/api/2/BTCUSD/money/ticker

Then, depending on how complex you wanna get, either just parse the result via Regex.Match to extract the "last" trade value, or alternatively the built-in DataContractJsonSerializer to map to a .NET class, or the built-in JsonReaderWriterFactory.CreateJsonReader will create XML from JSON, or find some free add-on libraries that will parse JSON (e.g. http://json.codeplex.com/).
