Feed reader component?

[Guest]

I'm looking for a rss/atom feed reader component, capable of consuming the
various formats of rss and atom. I would like to integrate it into a Windows
forms application where I would like to control the presentation of the feed
content.
I saw may sample Windows forms applications but none looks like it has been
tested as you expect from a 3rd party component you have to integrate into
your application. Support is obviously another problem...
I know a RSS reader is included in the IP*works suite of .net controls but
the price is too high for just this component.
Does anyone knows a good feed reader component to suggest?
Thanks in advance.

RSS is a relatively simple schema. You might want to check out the article
about extending My to including RSS functionality at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/ms789076.aspx.
They also have a sample RSS reader for download at http://download.microsoft.com/downl...ab536344ba49/vb 2005 - windows rss reader.msi.
