Hi,
A handy tutorial there but i'm new to the asp.net and its working! Could it be a possibility that this tut can have some screenshots and some easier to folllow instructions

sorry to be a pain

I have been looking for something like this for months! Thanks a lot, it looks great!

This is just what I was looking for. Everywhere I went I saw references to the 4Guys solution, which started off OK, but my ISP doesn't all access to system.io, which 4Guys use to stream the feed. Using the XMLTextWriter and streaming directly to the response.outputstream go me around the problem.

Once again many thanks, just a shame is wasn't higher up the search engine order.

Regards,

Jason.

Keep it up. You have a good job..

good this site.ok

to get this to work with IE7 and Outlook 2007, you need to remove the content type of text/xml

Really nice!

How would one use CDATA in the for the item/description element.

I am in the same boat jeff, i am pulling info from the database and using an editor to put the info into the database so when it is returned, i am getting an error. any help with be greatly appreciated

You can try Feedity - http://www.feedity.com to create custom RSS web feeds from non-syndicated webpages.

kbdhuigsdfkvxclvc vki jodf.gdf klfdnmbdfbfdb

kbdhuigsdfkvxclvc vki jodf.gdf klfdnmbdfbfdb

I am new to asp.net. how can I create a feed that will do the above but pull information from a table that has multiple rows with the same id. The table I have has multiple rows with the same id, has a field xpath listing the category of the data then has a field with data I'd like to display that within the category. ex

row 1: id=1, xpath=name, name=jim
row 2: id=1, xpath=location, location=123 street
row 3: id=1, xpath=date, date=2.3.05

So, How can I get the rss feed to display all the records in the table but group the items by id, lable subcategories in the xml tag then insert the data from the category in the brackets.

i am not able to see the xml file but it is showing google reader with my application link.How to get the xml file output?

hi,
its a nice article and its all about what i was looking for.

great article , do you have a vb.net code example you can send me

Hi,
For a start I'm using vb.net not c#.
I dont know why, but I am getting errors with the aspx code. The errors are:
Validation (): Element 'html' occurs too few times.
'Context' is not a member of 'top10Feed'
'Context' is not a member of 'top10Feed'
Thats not a typo, the error is appearing twice. The pages are top10Feed.aspx, and obviously top10Feed.aspx.vb
It seems strange as everyone else seems to have just gone straight through with the code without any problems.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello friend,

excellent job thank you

<b>How can i use RSS reader with respect to RSS feed? </b>
Hello shobha,
There are many ways to use rss feed in our application. example using javascript or in .net programming etc...

in .net we have xmltextreader we can use that reader object to read rss feed. we have to past here just rss url of feed.

one more thing you can get rssreader.dll from net you can use that assembly to read rss feed.

you can find it from net.

Thanks

I google for this today and got another way in asp.net 2.0 here. http://weblogs.asp.net/skillet/archive/2006/08/29/RSS-in-.NET-Made-Easy-with-XML-Serialization.aspx

This Test for subscibe me.

Thank

I have tried this tutorial, and everything worked fine, except for one thing.

When I delete a record from the database, it doesn't reflect on the rss feed. The old records are still there. I am pretty sure its to do with the catch.

Can anybody help?

Do you have this tutorial in Visiual Basic version?

currently I'm trying this to be used in the cooliris that i've been making for some while.

Somehow i'm wondering, this rss will appear in the form of rss or xml file? or whn you load the aspx file, the content will be showed in the page itself?

Because cooliris needs a file to load its content...

thanks

THANKS! ;)

I used your article and I developed this app for vb.net. Thanks again it's an excellent starting point for me. However I am struggling to add the code to extend the feed so that is shows images? Can you please post some code that will generate images? this is my last attempt below:
xFeed.WriteStartElement("image")
xFeed.WriteElementString("url", "http://www.roxypalace.com/games/EN/Slots/Crazy_Chameleons.gif")
xFeed.WriteElementString("link", "http://www.roxypalace.com/Winston?RSSImage")
xFeed.WriteEndElement()

I have a problem in RSS Feed that I am creating feed dynamically and when daily news are entered, feed contents are changed. My problem is when I enter "

I need to get the data from an MS Access database. What would the code look like for that? I would think that it would replace the following:

// Objects needed for connecting to the SQL database

SqlConnection SqlCon;
SqlCommand SqlCom;
SqlDataReader SqlDR;

// Edit to match your connection string
SqlCon = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ToString());

// Edit to match your stored procedure or SQL command
SqlCom = new SqlCommand("GetTodaysHeadlines", SqlCon);
SqlCom.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
if (SqlCon.State == ConnectionState.Closed)
{
SqlCon.Open();
}
SqlDR = SqlCom.ExecuteReader();

Thanks for your help.

Here's a way to format your date in vb.net, probably works the same in C# i think:

Format(Date.ToUniversalTime, "R")

thought this would be helpful to someone, cause it was to me B)

I think this is an awesome article.
But, can somebody please tell me how can i display images in the RSS, just like that we fetched other data from database. I have stored images in binary format in database.

This is my visual basic version which have modified slightly to handle tracking etc. Below is my VB code for the feed:

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

Dim MyAffTrackerRecieve As String
MyAffTrackerRecieve = Request.QueryString("MyAffTracker")
'Response.Write(MyAffTrackerRecieve)

'RSS Feed creation below
Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = "text/xml"
Dim xFeed As New XmlTextWriter(Response.OutputStream, Encoding.UTF8)
xFeed.WriteStartDocument()

xFeed.WriteStartElement("rss")
xFeed.WriteAttributeString("version", "2.0")
xFeed.WriteStartElement("channel")
xFeed.WriteElementString("title", "Online Casino Latest Games Releases")
xFeed.WriteElementString("link", "http://localhost:1218/MyRSS/Default.aspx")
xFeed.WriteElementString("description", "The latest Casino News from around the world")

xFeed.WriteElementString("description", "This shows up in title of link around image")
xFeed.WriteEndElement()

Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.Text
Imports System.Xml

Partial Class rss_LatestNews
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Response.Clear()

Response.ContentType = "text/xml"

Dim xtwFeed As New XmlTextWriter(Response.OutputStream, Encoding.UTF8)

xtwFeed.WriteStartDocument()

' The mandatory rss tag
xtwFeed.WriteStartElement("rss")
xtwFeed.WriteAttributeString("version", "2.0")

' The channel tag contains RSS feed details

xtwFeed.WriteStartElement("channel")
xtwFeed.WriteElementString("title", "yoursite News")
xtwFeed.WriteElementString("link", "http://www.yoursite.com")
xtwFeed.WriteElementString("description", "The latest news from Ashford Borough Council, Kent.")
xtwFeed.WriteElementString("copyright", "Copyright 2009 yoursite. All rights reserved.")

Dim TSQL As String = "YOUR SELECT QUERY"

' database Connection
Dim objConn As SqlConnection
Dim objCmd As SqlCommand
Dim objRdr As SqlDataReader

objConn = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("MyConnection").ConnectionString)

objCmd = New SqlCommand(TSQL, objConn)
objCmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
objConn.Open()

objRdr = objCmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)

While objRdr.Read()
xtwFeed.WriteStartElement("item")
xtwFeed.WriteElementString("title", Convert.ToString(objRdr("Title")).Trim())
xtwFeed.WriteElementString("description", Convert.ToString(objRdr("LongDesc")).Trim())
xtwFeed.WriteElementString("link", "http://www.yoursite.com/default.aspx?page="

Ahh it missed off the rest so here it is

While objRdr.Read()
xtwFeed.WriteStartElement("item")
xtwFeed.WriteElementString("title", Convert.ToString(objRdr("Title")).Trim())
xtwFeed.WriteElementString("description", Convert.ToString(objRdr("LongDesc")).Trim())

Plz tel me wat is the SP \"GetTodaysHeadlines\"... can u plz give me the procedure

SP \"GetTodaysHeadlines\" is whatever you want it to be. It's just a call to a database stored procedure - you wouldn't use this call.

I follow your step, but my page http://www.bellafindings.com/TodaysHeadlines.aspx was error, here is a message error:

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

I don't know how to solve it, could you help me please?

Thanks,
Wesley.
