"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available.

It seems I have to enter it into the watch list and wait for a message telling me it is not valid or a Fundamental Message which would show it is good. take care, lee

I was hoping there is a live look-up that I can use directly. take care, lee Edited by kleelof on Jun 1, 2010 at 05:31 PM

You can retrieve any of the information available in the feed via .NET (not just the data available in the calls you mention). Unfortunately the example for C# (I'm assuming you looked at the example to get those methods) is not as complete as the examples for VC++ or VB.NET. As I mentioned above, we have a Symbol Lookup available in the feed. Take a look at the documentation pages for Symbol Lookup via COM or Symbol Lookup via TCPIP. Also, if you would email developer support, I can send you a few more C# examples (although I don't currently have any that do symbol Lookup) which might help out in integrating with IQFeed.
