RSS Output via .Net XML Serialization
Scott Van Vliet - RSS in .NET Made Easy with XML Serialization
"...
So I was looking for a real quick way to publish an RSS feed from a Web application I created for a friend and found some great articles and components (RSS Toolkit for ASP.NET 2.0.) However, I didn’t find anything that used XML Serialization (specifically) to work with the RSS 2.0 Specification (maybe my Google skills are truly weak today.) I use XmlSerializer religiously, and thought it would be quite trivial to build a set of classes to quickly create and publish an RSS feed. Thus, as any geek would do, I did just that.
...
To create an RSS document, it’s no more difficult than creating and populating a PONO (Plain Ole .NET Object.)
...
To generate the XML for this feed, simply call the ToString() method:
rss.ToString();
..."
That's a pretty cool implementation. A simple strongly typed method to create RSS output (with C# source included) via XML serialization.
I like the PONO approach... ;)
