While using the Rss20FeedFormatter class in a WCF project, I was trying to wrap the content of my description elements with a <![CDATA[ ]]> section. I found that no matter what I did, the HTML content of the description elements was always encoded and the CDATA section was never added. After peering into the source code of Rss20FeedFormatter, I found that when building the Summary node, it basically creates a new TextSyndicationContent instance which wipes out whatever settings were previously specified ( I think ). My Code public class CDataSyndicationContent : TextSyndicationContent { public

I am currently working on a c# .NET desktop application that will be communicating to a database over the internet via WCF and WCF Data Services. There will be many spots in the application that may need to be refreshed upon some interval. The easiest solution would be to just put these areas on a timer and requery the database. However, with thousands of clients connecting to the service layer and hence database, these operations would be very expensive to the server. What I have considered is creating an RSS feed that is polled by the client, and lets the client know when these particular

I would need to programmatically determine whether an RSS feed exposes the full content of its articles or just extracts of them. How would you do it? Look for a link at the end that says "More", "Continued", "Full article", "..." or similar. Unless you want to follow every link on the page and look for the text from the feed plus extra perhaps. I don't think there is a very clean way of doing this, but here are two "hacky" ones: I'd parse the RSS's text, and look for any links coming out of it. Granted, there could be multiple links there (some to other blog posts), but if you focus on the

How would you create an RSS feed in ASP.NET 3.5 using C#? What framework pieces would help in making the publishing of an RSS or Atom feed easier for the .NET developer? Are there any extra features in .NET 4 to make this task easier than in 3.5? Nick Craver There's a new namespace for this in 3.5 called System.ServiceModel.Syndication . Kevin Miller has a great writeup on this , not a whole lot too it with the new namespace, check out the article, no need to repost here, example code is much easier to look at in my opinion. user1826683 public void BindData() { StringWriter sw = new

There are many websites and blog which provide RSS feeds, but on the other hand there are also many which do not. I want to turn that type of web page into RSS feeds. I found some solutions using through Google like Feed43 , Page2rss , Dapper etc, but I want an Open Source project which can perform this task or any tutorial explaining about it. Please give me suggestions and if you can explain, you are most welcome. My preferable language is PHP. There's nothing magic about RSS. I suggest you read this tutorial to understand how to build an RSS feed from scratch: http://www.xul.fr/en-xml-rss

I'm trying to get the dates from entries in two different RSS feeds through feedparser . Here is what I'm doing: import feedparser as fp reddit = fp.parse("http://www.reddit.com/.rss") cc = fp.parse("http://contentconsumer.com/feed") print reddit.entries[0].date print cc.entries[0].date And here's how they come out: 2008-10-21T22:23:28.033841+00:00 Wed, 15 Oct 2008 10:06:10 +0000 I want to get to the point where I can find out which is newer easily. I've tried using the datetime module of Python and searching through the feedparser documentation, but I can't get past this problem. Any help
