RssFeed Version 1.5 Available

Published 11 March 04 06:30 PM | Scott Mitchell

A new version of RssFeed is now available. (RssFeed is an open-source custom ASP.NET server control that displays an RSS syndication feed in an ASP.NET Web page.) The latest version, Version 1.5, had two features added:

Support for proxies - if your Web site uses a Web proxy to connect to the Internet, you can create a WebProxy class instance and assign it to RssFeed's Proxy property.
A Timeout property - when accessing RSS feeds from a remote URL, if the remote URL hangs or takes a long time to return its response, it can seriously impact the rendering time for the page using RssFeed. The Timeout property lets you specify how many milliseconds, at most, to wait, before giving up (and throwing an RssTimeoutException).

For more information on RssFeed, check out some of the live demos; questions, suggestions, bugs, and code enhancements should be discussed at the RssFeed GDN Workspace.
