Building RSS Readers with ASP.NET Whidbey

Kent showed a simple RSS reader that can be built with the ASP.NET Whidbey alpha today.  Note that in the alpha the XmlDataSource can only databind to local XML files stored on the file-system.  With the beta we've added support for the XmlDataSource to also be able to bind to remote XML documents available over a network.  This will enable you to build an RSS reader populated off of remote RSS feeds (like http://weblogs.asp.net/MainFeed.aspx). 

Should make building custom reader views easy and fun....

Does the syntax he uses in that sample also quote html-tags like < and >?

Hi Christian,

The syntax he shows doesn't -- although you can easily suround the databound expression calls with a Server.HtmlEncode() method -- which would then automatically html encode tags like < and >.

Hope this helps,

Scott

Thats not a perfect solution but almost the same idea for the .net framework 1.0 and 1.1 !!! It was developed in july 2002 ;-) I use it a lot on my website.
