7 Days Weatherforecast Application

I have develop silverlight application which will display the 7 day forecast of given city.I was thinking of this application long time ago but I have not developed it because of some reason but now after some research and time I have develop it and here is my application for you. Below is the screen shot of the main form which will display the weather forecast for a given city code. I have used the weatherBug web service which are free to use. You have to registered with the weather bug and they will send you the key and the resource link for your use.

For the registration for the weather bug web site you need to visit following link here you can click on the Register link and your registration will start. After accepting the terms and condition and selection one of the the web service usage option you can click on the submit button.
In the next page they will ask about the detail of the you, mean your name , email address, company name , address and country you can click to the submit button. when you click on the save button they (weather bug) will send you email for confirmation. when you click on the verification link in the email they(weather bug) will send you another email for the application code and the documentation links.
For this application I have created web service in the web application of the the silverlight application, so that to communicate with the weather bug services because silverlight doesn't support cross domain web service references so we have to make an adapter web service in our web application and link it to the Silverlight app. For detail of how to consume the web service in the silverlight application check this link.
For this application to run, the web service "WeatherService" in the application should be running as it has to communicate with the weather bug service. You can open the solution file of the project and press the F5 , and both the service and the application will run at the same time.
Some detail about the application I have placed one text box and the search button to search with any of the city code and also place some of the city code beneath the text box control so that you can also select from the list as well. You can download the source code from here. You can also download full source code from here ( key is not provided in full source code)
All and any comments / bugs / suggestions are welcomed!

Even disasters that are not natural may still have an effect on the environment. Nuclear power plants that may have been leaking or blown up may cause disastrous changes to the environment.
