Ok, I looked at the documentation and still have no clue.

All I want to do is create a simple stock ticker via Google Finance using C#. I see what I need to do in JavaScript, but want to do it in C#.

I looked at the java doc, ok, I get it, but I do not see any Finance class or subclass equivalents in C#. Does this not exist? Am I not including the correct references?

If I just want a ticker, (yes I know it is delayed data, I don't care), why would I need to create a portfolio? It does not seem that I would need one in JavaScript example to get a stock quote. So, why can't I do the same in C#? I assume that I need to cast the data returned into an object, but what object? I tried to use GData.Data.Service object's Query function and tried casting it to an AtomFeed, but got a parsing exception.

Here is something simple I wrote try { FeedQuery query = new FeedQuery(); query.Uri = new Uri("http://finance.google.com/finance"); query.Query = "GOOG"; Service s = new Service("Testing123"); AtomFeed feed = s.Query(query); } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine(ex.Message); }
