Solution 1

If you need real time exchange rates, you will have to use a web service to get them and update your site.

There are many examples on the web - Google search result for "currency conversion web service"[^]

Hope this helps!

You don't "have" to use a webservice. There are many ways to implement this.

How do you get the current rates then?

The rates can be supplied any way required, from a database, from speardsheet, etc. It is not REQUIRED to use as web service as you suggest.

Okay, I think you got me on my English. Please understand that it is not my first language. I will to choose better combination of words next time.

I feel our understanding of the question was different. When I saw ASP.NET tag, I assumed that the OP needed current converted rates. I believe my answer isn't incorrect, the English is.
I respect your feedback and thus improving the answer.
Thanks you!

Solution 2

There is no builtin function for this, you would have to create it and it is just simple math.

value to convert * current exchange rate = value
