title: C# MtGox Value Grabber
body: <p>Okay guys, here's the deal. I'm a total C# beginner but I've been advised to learn it. I'm desperate to get a working Bitcoin value grabber going - so that I can record the values to a text file. Another thing is that the value <strong>must</strong> be from MtGox, either their API or their homepage.</p>
  
  <p>I've spent a while dealing with HTTP requests and JSON decoding (grrr...) but I don't see the point in me spending so much time on my learning code when I'm sure there is someone else out there who can just help me to write it.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone think they might be able to help with this? Just a couple of lines to pull the last Bitcoin value from MtGox.</p>
  
  <p>Any contributions are much appreciated.
  Will.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>var json = WebClient.DownloadString("http://data.mtgox.com/api/2/BTCUSD/money/ticker_fast");
  
  string valueOriginal = Convert.ToString(json);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That is all I needed to write. Wow. Thanks for the help though, Oliver.</p>
