  Write a program that serves as a currency exchanger. Download and run the executable CurrencyExchanger.exe which uses the data file CurrencyExchangerates.txt (data taken from http://www.xe.com/ucc/). The comboboxes should be filled using the data in the text file in the Form-Load event. The user must enter an amount and select a "to" and "from" currency type. Convert the amount entered to USD by dividing by the number given for the "from" currency type. Then multiply by the number for th "to" currency type. Clear out the result if any changes are made to the input data.
