The key will be understanding the RSS specification, v2.0 of which can
be found at http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss. RSS is just a
dialect of XML, so you need to understand how to consume XML. Often the
description will be formatted using HTML, so displaying that in a
webpage style control is beneficial.
 
thanks, i understand how to consume XML files, i thought consuming RSS feeds
was done differently.
 
Have a look at the RSS Bandit Application, I think it is on Sourceforge, or
gotdotnet. It is open source and it should have the information needed. Also
there is an MSDN Article on the subject...

There are some tools for creating and parsing rss feeds at:
http://www.rss-specifications.com that you might find helpful.

Goodluck
