Please do not give me a link to a currency converter website!!!
I am maintaining a database and one table stores various currencies and their exchange rates in relation to the US dollar. This works fine, as long as I manually enter all of the exchange rates in, which as you know change. I know there are many places to get the daily rates. What I am looking for is a public database that is updated daily that I can access programmatically (with VB.NET). If I can get these values in my code, I can update my database with the latest rates automatically.
Again - Please no currency calculator websites, this is not what I am looking for.

You may be forced to create a parser to interpret the data in your program. The data may be coming from a site, which I am sure your aware of plenty. If the site has a consistent format you can create a function that strips the header data off and gets to the table and places it into an array. If you look into how to handle XML files the method should be quite similar since your dealing with HTML. You could even publish a library for others if you want who want to use this data, assuming your bored. Good luck!
