.Net RSS Feed library with Filter...

[Siva]

Is there a commercially available RSS Feed API written for .Net (C# or
VB.Net) preferably containing methods to set filter terms to search
within the feeds?

Please let me know if anyone has had any experience with any of these
tools.

Thanks

A few different concepts to cover here:
1) When you say "Feed API" I assume you mean a library that can request,
parse and store RSS / ATOM feeds, and update same. The built-in MSFeeds
library tha works with IE already does this, and includes sorting by tags.
You can wrap this with .NET COM/Interop by simply setting a COM - tab
reference. You can also extend the functionality of the library.

2) "Search within feeds" must mean you want to search within the title or
description (or pubDate) field or any combination thereof and display the
found items. Again the built - in MSFeeds libraries already provide
functionality to perform these actions.

3) The issue I see here is that you really have not provided sufficient
information about the context -- in other words, exactly what is it that you
want your application to be able to do?

There are a number of .NET open-source RSS / Feed related Libraries and
applications that you can research to find what you seek, as well as a number
of commercial "for pay" libraries.

Take a look on that link http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/rssframework.asp,
Open the solution, the code is readable and as i can understand from the
soution that you can add a filter (around the rss item) or use the already
contained filter.

Look for the Argotic Syndication Framework. Its in the key of C# and IMO the
most sophisticated effort that has been developed for ASP.NET developers.
