This is a simplified version of a commercial weather monitoring program I developed. It features current conditions and a two-day forecast from The Weather Channel. It is designed to read the weather to you using speech synthesis, but also displays the weather in a form and in a tray icon with balloon.
This application uses Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 to provide managed speech synthesis. This is built-in to Microsoft Vista and Longhorn Server, but must be downloaded and installed for Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. It is not available for Windows 9x or Windows 2000/NT. This application also uses a XML feed from The Weather Channel.
Please have fun with this. Remember you can separate the voice synthesizer class and use it for other applications.
I'm sure you will find any number of useful methods and classes here. I think it is pretty well commented. All the documentation for The Weather Channel XML feed, as well as their icons, are included.

Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come
out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them. For your own safety, please:
Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net

Great work on this, if I didn't know any better I'd say this is a commercial quality application. I only found one small bug, that I accidentally stumbled upon when I tried to open the About Box twice. 5 globes from me. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
This is a great program and the code is very advanced!! If i want to add a form to show a weather map, how would I go about it? I would like to show the interactive map... Is this possible? Thanks, Chris (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Thanks for the comments. There's no code for the maps in the XML feed. But the links provided (and shown on the bottom of the weather form) do point to the maps. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Never mind my previous request. THIS is exactly what I have been looking for for over a month. EXCELLENT!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Very Nice !!! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
