EDIT: I've been working with C# for Two days, I'm web developer and I come from PHP, I would need some detail explanation
I'm consuming a Currency convertor Web service. The web service namespace contain an enum structure with the currencies:
public enum Currency {
/// <remarks/>
AFA,
/// <remarks/>
ALL,
/// <remarks/>
DZD,
/// <remarks/>
ARS,
/// <remarks/>
AWG,
/// <remarks/>
AUD,
/// <remarks/>
BSD,
/// <remarks/>
BHD
//... AND SO ON
}
The method I use to get the Conversion Rate is (with example):
// ---
// --- Variable type is the enum
// ---
ConvertorReference.Currency from;
ConvertorReference.Currency to;
ConvertorReference.CurrencyConvertorSoapClient service = new ConvertorReference.CurrencyConvertorSoapClient();
// --
// -- Here I asign one of the enum keys
// --
from = ConvertorReference.Currency.USD;
to = ConvertorReference.Currency.COP;
rate = service.ConversionRate(from, to);
Console.Write("1 USD is $" + rate + " Colombia Pesos");
//Outputs: 1 USD is $2380.88 Colombian Pesos
I would like to ask the user for a string, where he can insert for example "USD"
or "COP"
.
After receiving that string I want to know if it is possible to use something like.
curr = Console.ReadLine("Insert the currency you want to perform the operation: ");
Now the variable curr
would be something like "USD";
Can I do something like this to get the same result?:
from = ConvertorReference.Currency.curr;
