Updating the MultiDayForecast Web Control   07 Mar 2007 00:00 GMT

In December 2004 the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA) unveiled a Web service for accessing weather forecasts for locations within the United States. To demonstrate using this service and Web services in general, I wrote an article titled Display Local Weather Forecasts with the NOAA's Web Service, in which we built a custom Web control named MultiDayForecast that displayed weather forecast information.

In the two years since the Display Local Weather Forecasts with the NOAA's Web Service article was authored, the NOAA has made a few breaking changes to their service, thereby breaking the MultiDayForecast control. I've since updated the MultiDayForecast control to handle these breaking chnages, as well as making it easier to handle future changes. This article details the NOAA's breaking changes and the steps taken to update the MultiDayForecast control. Read on to learn more!
