Welcome to Atom.NET

I have a great deal of respect for Sam Ruby and the work he is doing with Atom. But his C# Atom client is convoluted and a pain to work with. David Stewart, a Microsoft empoyee on the Windows Mobile Devices group, came up with a class library that works with Atom in an intelligent way, using web requests instead of Web Service proxies. Best of all, he has the source code and samples as well. If you're working with Atom at all, this is a must have.

  • Thanks! But it is Stewart with a "t" at the end. A steward is a waiter ;-)

  • This is not an an assembly for handling feeds. it's an assembly for working with the AtomAPI, which is the part of Atom designed to work with weblogs. They are two totally different things.

  • I BEG of all control developers and freeware distributors to ensure their products work with proxies of all kinds. having hit this wall on a few of mine, it has proved wise to tackle it in the beginning. especially when i see the words "webrequest" -- please please please make sure you are allowing for users that are behind proxies/firewalls/user-authenticating proxies that may not use the same login info as their NT accounts...



    ...don't discount those people and don't assume their proxy config just "sucks" -- i'm at one of the largest companies in the computer mfr industry right now and it is a constant pain for them to implement anything that doesn't support proxies...
