RSS live feed

[Matthijs de Z]

Hi,
I want to make an update check for some software and use RSS for that
(because it’s on sourceforge.net and they have an RSS stream for the
directories).

Off course Google was my friend while looking for some code to read
RSS, but there’s one thing I cannot find (not even on codeproject.com
or within source code of projects on sourceforge.net).

How can I make the RSS reader follow the RSS feed live? Is there an
event that I can use or something like that? Or do I have to use a
timer every second for instance? Or is there some code available to
just listen to the RSS stream and act on it when there is a new
message?
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,

Matthijs

You have to read the RSS again to see if something changed.

Not sure what is your exact scenario but if this is for a updating an
application, checking this when the app launch rather than every second (?!)
is likely enough...

(Not sure I would this for updating an application), you don't care about
the while history, you just want to check that the current versino and
lastest available version match).

ok, so yet do a check every now and then.

that's what I wanted to do, but I use the RSS feed to get the latest
version from the server and compare it with the version of the app.
Thanks,
