Hi

Is there any procedure with VB to mimic something like the 'get external
data from web' function within Excel.

I would like to import currency exchange rate data from a web site and show
the results in a listview control.

Any help on this would be very much appreciated.

TIA

That depends on the website you want to import from. You can obviously read
the response sent from a URL, which could obviously be whatever the server
sends it as (html, plain text, graphic, file, or even just a series of
bits). If there is a URL that will return the data you want, or something
containing the data you want that you could parse, you can do that. Or, if
you have access to the same database or source that the website got their
stuff from, you could do that instead (that might not make it exactly "from
web", but it would be over the internet, and the web is nothing but a
specific part of the internet anyway). So it's not really a question of
whether VB.NET has any way to do it, but whether there is anywhere to get
the data from.
