No there is nothing built in. You have to find a web service and get your data from that.

Hi Everyone i got the solution for the above Question.

GO to http://webservicex.net, this is providing a WebService for ExchangeRate

Here is the code what i did.

Add service Reference in your Client Application

http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx

Then Create the proxy Object in your Client Application

C#

CurrencyExchange.CurrencyConvertor exchangerate = new CurrencyExchange.CurrencyConvertor();
double exchangevalue;
if (DropDownListcurrencies.SelectedValue == "UAE Dhiram")
{
exchangevalue = exchangerate.ConversionRate(CurrencyExchange.Currency.INR,CurrencyExchange.Currency.AED);
resultuae = result * Convert.ToDecimal(exchangevalue);
}
