New Post: Modules in Atom Feeds

tlianza — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 23:50:07 GMT

Is it possible to have modules for Atom feeds, or just RSS?

In looking through FeedReader's initialize method, the only codepath that iterates over modules is inside the "RSS" conditional. Atom feeds don't appear to look for modules.

Is that right? If so, is it by design? If not, may I submit a patch to add it?

Thanks,

Tom

NEW POST: how to publish a feed

sandroriz — Sat, 31 May 2008 18:34:49 GMT

I really appreciate this library, but I find it lacks a little of documentation (or I'm so stupid that I didn't find it).

After building a feed with its channel properties and created its items collection, is there a method or a propriety (such a feed.ToXml ) that returns the xml stream ?

Thanks
Sandro

Hi!

Thank you! At this moment I don't know yet it the product will be realized, we are at the analysis stage, and I was searching for libraries and tools that we may need. I'll let you know if I use your library :-)

Hi Marco,

sure, no problem! But it would be great if you would make a short notice about FeedDotNet and link to this site somewhere in your program (e.g. in the "about" dialog)

PS: may I know what is the product you are working on? I could refer to it from my side as well

Hi!

I have a question about the License of FeedDotNet: is it possibile to use it in a commercial closed-source product?

Thanks in advance!

NEW POST: Updated Atomparser.cs to support feeds with source attributes

JoshLedgard — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 00:42:25 GMT

I noticed that the feedreader didn't properly support feeds that contained the source element. It would replace the item titles with the titles of the source element. It also didn't extract the source elements.

I have the updated source here: http://ledgards.com/files/folders/612/download.aspx

If you are interested, I used your library to create a plugin for for Windows Live Writer. You can find it here:

Thanks,

What would be the best way to import/parse an Opml file? Implement a new Parser class for opml?

Thx,

NEW POST: How to detect feeds on the web pages

Kostik — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 14:18:57 GMT

Just call Explorer.Discover() with a web page uri as parameter:

List<ExternalFeedLink> externalFeedLinks = Explorer.Discover(new Uri("http://www.codeplex.com"));
foreach (ExternalFeedLink link in externalFeedLinks)
{
Console.WriteLine("Feed Type: " + link.FeedType.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Feed Title: " + link.Title);
Console.WriteLine("Feed Uri: " + link.Uri);
}

Kostik — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 14:15:01 GMT

1. Create some structure (tree) of your feeds. Use your own category class implementing the IOpmlCategory interface.

class SampleOpmlCategory : IOpmlCategory
{
private string title = String.Empty;
private List<IOpmlCategory> categories = new List<IOpmlCategory>();
private List<Feed> feeds = new List<Feed>();

public string Title
{
get
{
return title;
}
set
{
title = value;
}
}

public List<IOpmlCategory> Categories
{
get
{
return categories;
}
set
{
categories = value;
}
}

public List<Feed> Feeds
{
get
{
return feeds;
}
set
{
feeds = value;
}
}
}

2. Add subcategories and feeds to this category.

Feed feed = new Feed();
feed.Title = "Feed Title";
feed.WebUri = new FeedUri("http://.....");
feed.XmlUri = new FeedUri("http://...../rss.xml");

SampleOpmlCategory category = new SampleOpmlCategory();
category.Title = "Root category";
category.Feeds.Add(feed);

3. optional Create OpmlExportSettings object to specify OPML settings.

4. Call on of the OpmlManager.Export() methods to save OPML file in the specified location.

OpmlManager.Export(category, "C:\\output.opml");

Yes, Content is a Module (http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/) that is not implemented yet. And not existing modules are ignored - I will implement it shortly, thanks!

NEW POST: Validation

abrudtkuhl — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 21:03:05 GMT

I figured I should move this discussion here rather than the general comments.

I just figured out the FeedReader.HasErrors method is not working how I thought it would. Basically I have a legacy feed (Atom 0.3) that is erroring because of how the date is included (common problem for RSS Hackers). Anyway since the W3C no longer supports this I'd just assume skipping it in my parsing algorithm. Or support for Atom 0.3 should be included.

One option I would love to see is a static method or function of the feed class that does a SOAP request to the w3c web service to determine whether or not the feed is valid.

http://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/soap.html

Here's the feed that's not working -- http://www.rothcpa.com/atom.xml

Ideas?

Thanks, Andy

This is a simple tutorial to binding to a control. In this case we will create a datalist and bind to it upon page load

aspx

<asp:DataList ID="dlItems" runat="Server">
<ItemTemplate>
<h4><%# Eval("Title") %></h4>
<p>
<%# Eval("Content") %>
</p>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>

c#
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string feedUri = "http://feeds.feedburner.com/getanewbrowser";

FeedDotNet.Common.Feed feed = FeedDotNet.FeedReader.Read(feedUri);

this.dlItems.DataSource = feed.Items;
this.dlItems.DataBind();
}

This simple tutorial will use the FeedDotNet API to parse and display an rss feed in a data definition list

string feedUri = "http://feeds.feedburner.com/getanewbrowser";
FeedDotNet.Common.Feed _feed = FeedDotNet.FeedReader.Read(feedUri);

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

sb.Append("<dl>");

foreach (FeedDotNet.Common.FeedItem _item in _feed.Items)
{
sb.Append("<dt>" + _item.Title + "</dt>");
sb.Append("<dd>" + _item.Content + "</dd>");
}

sb.Append("</dl>");

Response.Write(sb.ToString());

Hi
sorry, I thought the client example is enough. But all you need are these lines:

// Read feed
Feed feed = FeedReader.Read("http://www.codeplex.com/FeedDotNet/Project/ProjectRss.aspx");

// Check for any errors
if (FeedReader.HasErrors)
{
Exception ex = FeedReader.GetErrors()0;
// Handle it...
}

Now you have access to all Feed properties.
But you're right, there's a need for a good doc...
