I always like Sunny weather and disliked gloomy rainy weather.*`~

Forget it, it now works again

But I noticed that, for at least some main Portugal cities, like POXX0074(Santarem) the HI and LOW temperatures can be obtained.

Well it’s has been working great, but today it stopped working:

[CODE]
Dim os As New WeatherCenterEclipse.WeatherReport
Erratic Line ->os.GetWeather(My.Settings.localizacaoGuardada, My.Settings.partnerID, My.Settings.licenseKey)
[/CODE]

It now gives (on the DLL) NullReferenceException.

I’m not understanding this since yesterday it worked great and today it doesn’t work at all.

@Pedro Flores

I have uploaded a new release to CodePlex. This will now allow for the use of the locale codes instead of zip codes.

@Pedro Flores

ahh…I see what you mean. The problem is really the data that comes back. My dll doesn’t limit it to just zip codes, it will accept any string. The problem is the data that is returned. It seems for non-zip codes, the service returns “N/A” for a number of the values(for example, the “hi” temperature is “N/A” for UKXX0075). Since it didn’t do this for the US zip codes, I have zero checking for bad values. So I am trying to convert the “N/A” to a numeric value, which is failing.

I will make changes to add more exception handling.

No, that wasn’t what I was trying to tell you. On your dll, on the GetWeather() method, it accepts only zipcodes, I cannot put any string larger than 5 numbers, so for example UKXX0075 is out of the question.

But if I take UKXX0075 and put it instead of the zip code on the XOAP, it returns data anyway. So it probably handles other codes as well.
