How to display rss feed in asp.net

Anuradha 4:02 AM No comments :
In this post I will show you how to display rss feed in asp.net using XmlDataSource and DataList control.
Create a web page name it as RSSFeed.aspx 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:TextBox ID="txtUrl" runat="server" Width="349px"></asp:TextBox>
        <asp:Button ID="btnLoad" runat="server" Text="Load" OnClick="btnLoad_Click" />
        <asp:DataList ID="dlRss" runat="server">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <%#XPath("title") %>
                <i>
                    <%#XPath("description") %></i> <i>
                        <%#XPath("pubdate") %></i> <b><a href="<%#XPath("link") %>">
                            <%#XPath("link") %></a></b>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:DataList>
        <asp:XmlDataSource ID="xml" runat="server" XPath="rss/channel/item"></asp:XmlDataSource>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>
protected void btnLoad_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {        
        if (txtUrl.Text != "")
        {
            xml.DataFile = txtUrl.Text;
            dlRss.DataSourceID = xml.ClientID;
        }
    }
