How to display a News Feed on my web site

[Guest]

Does anybody know how I can display a news feed such as:

http://p.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?c=Sports: 2006 World Cup news&o=rss002

and others on my VB.Net web site?

Is there any code available that I can use to do this?


Thanks, Mike.

Hi Mike,

Thank you for your post.

The simplest way to display rss feeds on your ASP.NET website is using the
new Data Source control XmlDataSource, for example:

<asp:XmlDataSource id="XmlDataSource1" DataFile="msdn.xml"
XPath="rss/channel/item" runat="server" />

<aspataList id="DataList1" runat="server" DataSourceId="XmlDataSource1">
<ItemTemplate>
<b><%# XPath("pubDate") %> - <%# XPath("title") %> </b>
<br/>
<%# XPath("description") %>
</ItemTemplate>
</aspataList>

Also, you may take a look at following article which describes how to
create a User Control to display rss feeds:
