RSS Magic for .Net

RSS Magic is a .Net class library that allows developers the ability to download, manipulate, and save RSS feeds through familiar properties and methods.


So what is RSS Magic? Why should I use it?

The RSS Magic component provides developers an easy way to download, read, write, and manipulate RSS data. Check out the following features:

Now let's look at each of these points in greater detail:

No knowledge of XML required.

All XML functions, inluding parsing, manipulating, and creating XML elements and attributes is handled internally by the RSS Magic component. You, as the developer, only need to create an RSSFeed object, then read and set all of your data through standard IntelliSense-aware properties and methods. The RSS Magic component creates valid XML every time.

No need to write socket/TCP/download code.

The RSS Magic component has a built-in RSS feed downloader. Look at how simple this C# code is:

myRSSObject = new RSSFeed();
myRSSObject.LoadRSSFileOrUrl(
    "http://www.lockergnome.com/lockergnome.xml");

That's all there is to it. You can now access and change all of the data in the LockerGnome RSS feed.

No file I/O code required.

The reading and writing of files is easily accomplished with a simple method call on an RSSFeed object.

To load a file:   myRSSObject.LoadRSSFileOrUrl(filename);
To save a file:    myRSSObject.SaveRSSFile(filename);

It doesn't get any easier than that.

Free updates for life.

That's right! If you buy the RSS Magic component, you will not have to pay for any update in the future. Many (dare I say most) companies expect you to pay again and again when new versions of their products are released. Any time a new version of RSS Magic is released, the full version will be available to registered customers FREE OF CHARGE.

Easily create your own weblogger, news aggregator, or RSS creator.

Now imagine this: take the RSS Magic component and code a user interface around it. All of the hard work dealing with RSS has been done for you. Sell your program and make your fortune. Noone needs to know how little effort was actually required on your part.

With the Silverband RSS Magic .Net component, at the top level an RSS document is an RSSFeed object, with a mandatory attribute called Version (defaults to "2.0"), that specifies the version of RSS that the document conforms to. The RSSFeed object contains one RSSChannel, containing properties for all available RSS channel elements as well as any number of RSSItems. The Silverband RSS Magic component provides you the ability to read and create RSS feeds that conform to version 2.0 and earlier.
