Newbie, VIN Number decoder help

[axelman]

Hi guys

I'm using VS2005, ASP.net 2.0 and SQL Server 2005

I've been asked to create a decoder app for cars VIN Number , I thought
maybe some of you could offer some advise, examples or links to go about
this project in ASP.net 2.0 using VB or C#, is there some kind of web
service we can hook up to? this since we don't have a database with this
info, or where do we get one?, any help would be very appreciated. Thanks in
advanced.

Best regards

I don't know exactly what do you want, but I think that you are looking for a
regex for your application:

is this???

Polk is the most common vendor for vin data. you can subscribe to the
data only or also get sample code.

First, figure out how to parse the VIN. It is actually quite simple. You
then have to get all of the data into the database, as each manufacturer
does things a bit different.
