Hi All,

RSS feeds are the Rich Site Summary feeds, benefit users who want to receive timely updates from favorite websites or to aggregate data from many sites. Here i am using ABC News RSS feeds to get the news Update. A particular RSS feeds are only available if they are provided by the site.

Firstly we will add a Aspx file in our project file then add a repeater control in it or copy paste following code :-

 <asp:Repeater ID="rptrRssControl" runat="server">
                <HeaderTemplate>
                    <table border="0" width="80%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" style="border: 1px solid maroon;">
                        <tr bgcolor="maroon">
                            <th style="color:white">Title</th>
                            <th style="color:white">Link</th>
                            <th style="color:white">description</th>
                            <th style="color:white">Published Date</th>
                        </tr>
                </HeaderTemplate>
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <tr>
                        <td width="20%">
                            <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.title")%>
                        </td>
                        <td width="20%">
                            <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.link")%>
                        </td>
                        <td width="20%">
                            <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.description")%>
                        </td>
                        <td width="20%" align="center">
                            <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.pubdate")%>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                </ItemTemplate>
                <AlternatingItemTemplate>
                    <tr bgcolor="#e8e8e8">
                        <td width="20%">
                            <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.title")%>
                        </td>
                        <td width="20%">
                            <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.link")%>
                        </td>
                        <td width="20%">
                            <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.description")%>
                        </td>
                        <td width="20%" align="center">
                            <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.pubdate")%>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                </AlternatingItemTemplate>
                <FooterTemplate>
                    </table>
                </FooterTemplate>
            </asp:Repeater>

Then on code behind add the following code on page load event :-

 try
            {     
                //Create a new DataSet
                DataSet ds = new DataSet();

                //Read the Response into the DataSet
                ds.ReadXml("http://feeds.abcnews.com/abcnews/topstories");

                //Bind the Results to the Repeater
                if (ds != null && ds.Tables.Count > 0)
                {
                    rptrRssControl.DataSource = ds.Tables[3];
                    rptrRssControl.DataBind();
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw ex;
            }

The out put will be like :-
