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

CurrencyConvertor WebService

Then Create the proxy Object in your Client Application

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);
}

There is nothing built into the .NET Framework for getting exchange rates, but you might want to look at a previous StackOverflow question Are there any free foreign exchangex rate web services?

There is no 'build-in' api.

You need to find the provider of such data.

You might want to start with https://openexchangerates.org/
