XLinq for RSS Feed

  • Article

 

RSS 2.0 is popular in the world of BLOGGING. Let’s not discuss about what RSS does but how we can read RSS using XLinq (LINQ for XML). Here I have tried to read the RSS Feed of my BLOG and the URL for the RSS feed is https://blogs.msdn.com/wriju/rss.xml

This simple function pulls out the RSS XML details provided you know the structure.

 

string GetOutput()

        {

            string strOut = string.Empty;

            string strFeed = "https://blogs.msdn.com/wriju/rss.xml";

            var feed = XDocument.Load(strFeed);

            var items = feed.Root.Element("channel").Elements("item");

            foreach(var item in items)

                strOut+= item;

            return strOut;

        }

Once you have the core XML in your hand using the .NET XML namespace you can play with it. It is really interesting.

Welcome 2007!!!.
