ITLBase is a collection of classes that let you get information about an ITL student like the current courses in its schedule, the courses already taken and its information.

This library is a PCL (Portable Class Library) written in C# and works in .NET 4.5, Windows 8, Windows Phone 8.1, Windows Phone Silverlight 8, Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.iOS (Classic).

##Installation

You can download the library source code and compile it by yourself or install the library direct in your project via NuGet Package Manager (Recommended)

Install-Package MAlainp.ITLBase

##Usage

Once you install the library in your project you maybe need to get some student information. Create a new PrepconParser object with the desired student ID and its password, then call (and await if you want) the async method ParseHTMLAsync. This will request the information to the ITL web server, parses it and fill some fields in the object (Student Name field in this case).

using MAlainp.ITLBase;
…
async void SomeMethod(some params…)
{
  //This url is the “main page” and only display the student name and let the students choice where to go next (Cursando, Kardex or Boleta de calificaciones).
  //The other URLs ends with matcursa.asp and kardex.asp
  var url = “http://www.itlalaguna.edu.mx/2014/servicios/escolares/estatus_alumno/prepcon.asp”;
  PrepconParser pp = new PrepconParser(url, student_ID, password);
  bool parsed = await pp.ParseHTMLAsync();
  someTextBox.Text= pp.StudentName;
  //some code
}

##To Do

• Change the way the method ParseHTMLAsync works, maybe return the list of courses in the schedule or the list in the courses already taken instead of returning a bool type.

• Create a way to parse student’s information with ID starting in 09 or lower.

##Known bugs

• Students with student ID starting in 09 or lower can’t get its information from the server

##Supporting ITLBase

If you want to add functionality to this little PCL send an email with your information and a little C# program (Not a Hello World) to malain.pera@gmail.com to become a collaborator or fork this repo in your GitHub and when you finish send me a pull request to review your changes and merge it with mine.
