>I was wondering if anyone has written a stockmarket ticker application. I was going to try and write an application that will track the market. I don't know where I could go to get the lastest symbols, prices and maybe the volume of trade. This would need to be the latest prices available. I'd seen a demo at DevCon that went out and got the latest price for Microsoft during the demo.

This is cool to do as an experiment, but you probably can't practically do it for a distributed app. (Is this what you were planning?)

BTW, I wrote a program that would track a ticker thoughout the day (parsed HTML from Yahoo's stock site), and charted it in an MSGraph control. Updated every 15 seconds.
