Hello,

There is an RSS component included in IP*Works! .Net
Edition. You can use it to create RSS in your asp.net app like so:

private
void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {
// Put user code to
initialize the page here
nsoftware.IPWorks.Rss rss1 = new
nsoftware.IPWorks.Rss();
rss1.ChannelTitle = "Rss On The Fly - IP*Works!
Demo";
rss1.ChannelDescription = "How to create dynamic RSS in your web
app";
rss1.ChannelLink =
"http://www.nsoftware.com/support/kb/tutorials.aspx";
rss1.ImageTitle =
"IP*Works!";
rss1.ImageLink = "http://www.nsoftware.com";
rss1.ImageURL =
"http://www.nsoftware.com/subscriptions/img/boxshot.gif";
rss1.AddItem("title
1", "description 1", "http://mylink/1");
rss1.AddItem("title 2", "description
2", "http://mylink/2");
rss1.AddItem("title 3", "description 3",
"http://mylink/3");
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType =

"text/xml";
Response.Write(rss1.RSSData);
Response.End();
}

Your asking developers to pay $399 to purchase a 'solution' that includes an
embedded write-only crippled implementation of RSS 2.0 that doesn't support
the entire specification in its entirety?

Hello,

Even if IPWorks products are good paying that amount of money just for
an RSS component is to much.

What do you think about this one:

Can someone send me some feedback?

I need to take some decision about which component or code to use until
tomorrow.

Thank You,
Miguel

I'm not asking anyone to pay anything. Someone is looking for a good RSS
control, I simply brought one to his attention. The pricepoint is certainly
relevant - so thanks for pointing out that for $399 you get over 40
components including the RSS component. The RSS component can be used for
both consuming and generating RSS, and supports all current versions of the
RSS specifications.

Clinton, if you do not understand how to consume RSS with this component and
are interested in finding out how, send me an email and I'll be happy to
help you. Its quite easy - you just call its GetFeed method and all of the
items are automatically parsed out for you into convenient property arrays.

Hello Lance,

I know IPWorks components are really good.
The problem is I only need the RSS one so having to buy an entire
toolbox just for one component it's a little bit to much.

Maybe in the future I will need the other components and I might
considering it. Maybe you should create toolboxes with less components.

Cheers,
Miguel
