James Hollingworth’s Adventures in Code

So i didn’t have much to do yesterday so I wrote an OFX importer. I used Jason’s sharpCash as a starting point but ended up doing my own implementation (always easier to rewrite than to understand someone else’s code!). Its pretty compliant to the main bulk of the OFX specification, although it only supports Credit Card and Bank account types at the moment.

It was written in C# and I have compiled it to a class library, the dll for it is here. Basically because this is for my dissertation, I don’t really know where I stand with releasing the code, I will speak to my project supervisor, worst case scenario I will release it early next year but if anyone wants the source, just email me.

To use it, you simply do:

    OFX ofxFile = new OFX(filePath);

Hope this saves someone a couple of days of trouble!

**Update **

Sorry, hadn’t realized  that the link had expired, I have put it in my university web space hosting which you can get here. Will be releasing the code as soon as possible but may be a month or 2 before thats possible. I have one request to make for anyone using, could you just drop me an email with the names of banks you are using, and if feeling very generous any performance metric’s you happen to have collated. I need to show this component works properly on a range of banks but can only personally get hold of OFX documents for a couple of banks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
