RssFeed Version 1.2 Released

Version 1.2 of RssFeed, an ASP.NET custom server control I created to display RSS syndicated content, is now available and ready for download at the RssFeed GotDotNet Workspace.  I finally got around to completing the XML comments and, using NDoc, quickly built both online help files and a compiled help file (.chm).  (NDoc is pretty cool and easy to use.  I'd not used it before, and was impressed how quickly and easily it was to generate the help files.)

Version 1.2's main improvement is adding optional template support.  I have some live demos of RssFeed you can check out to see the templates in action, including responding to button Command events.  There are some other miscellaneous improvements as well, cleaning up the code and whatnot, adding comments, blah blah blah.

One feature that is still missing is proxy support.  Users who connect to the Internet via a proxy will get Underlying connection was closed error messages.  The fix, I believe, is as simple as adding a WebProxy class to download the data, but I don't use a proxy so don't know how I'd go about testing it.  Hopefully someone who uses RssFeed and who has tweaked it to work on their proxy setup can send me the pertinent code...

Scott,

FYI, I just published an article on my site about NDoc. It includes installation steps (for both Visual Studio .NET users and those that do not use Visual Studio.NET) as well as a quick example of the functionality provided by NDoc. If you are interested, you can view it directly at http://www.mettlemouth.com/default.aspx?article_id=1&page=1

Thanks,
Chris

Christopher, thanks for the link. I added to it my NDoc review on DotNetToolbox.com:
