Check your Local Weather with this Live Xcelsius Utility

Jun 5th, 2008
by Kalyan Verma.

Xcelsius Utility SeriesA simple utility to check the Local Weather in your area. Just enter the Zip Code and click on the Show Me! button. The data is driven by a simple webservice, which is responsible for live feeds. This tool is built using Crystal Xcelsisus 2008.


Note: This utility currently accepts only a few Zip Codes, please dont be disappointed if it does not return any data sometimes. Im In a process of adding all the Zip Codes to the Web Service. For now try major cities.

Unfortunately I don’t have the source file for the webservice version. However you can download the XML version of the same from below:

    Please give us a few zip codes that work.

  • These work 90310, 90610, 90620 and more I’m sure.

  • Kalyan Verma

    Yeah i fixed this one. I used a Webservice for the earlier version, but this one uses as RSS feed from Yahoo Weather. So all zipcodes that work on Yahooweather should work here. Thanks Hiran, for trying it out.

      Hi Kalyan,
      The zip codes starting from 0 will not work for some reason; I did the same using one of the weather WSDL but the 0 problem is not solved, although I said the format of cell to be read as number; I know this is very old but if you have any idea on this
      Thanks,
      Mayank

    Hi Kalyan,

    The weather example is really awesome. I am able to map data from static xml file from my local machine, but I am not able to get the dynamic yahoo weather url to work as in the example. If you could provide me details steps for this example it would be a great help.

    Thanks,
    Yash
