Usage of the PapouchSensorTmeHttp class

Constructor of this class takes single argument, which is URL of thermometer's XML file (which is http://host/tme.xml). Then call the ReadSample method to get current temperature in degrees of Celsius. The following code demonstrates the usage:

            PapouchSensorTmeHttp sensor = new PapouchSensorTmeHttp("http://192.168.168.3/tme.xml");

            try {

                float t = sensor.ReadSample();

                MessageBox.Show(string.Format("Temperature is {0:N1} °C", t), "Result", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);

            }

            catch (Exception ex) {

                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Warning);

            }
