I hope any of these open source applications are good enough

try http://www.rsscreation.com to learn more rss-format, and then write a simple asp-script which will read a database and format an xml-output from it

ok...its seems nothing but writing to an xml file in a valid rss format..

soo guys is it something like this file should be created automatically after each post or aticle is made in my website?


edit:- well in some website they give rss link something lik this
www.yourdomain.com/rss?comments

which only gives the rss for the comments and same page is used to generate different types of rss feeds..soo what is the logic behind this..does it returns...a link to pre generated rss feed file.or how does this work..

It is calling a server side script to generate the rss on the fly.

When you add an article to your site, how are you saving it on server??

it saves in a database. with a articleID..

i can actually create an rss whenever a new post happens..i can make that happen..but i want something which various feeds generated by one page ..

If you look at the link in my sig, I have php app that will convert an ATOM feed to RSS on the fly.

I used this site to create my RSS 2.0 to spec.

The feedvalidtor will make sure you are on track.

The toolkit above already did that work for you, but you can jump in if you want.

superbovine that was awsum...

n last 1 question i have seen some rss pages with the extension of aspx or php..not .rss these pages display rss according to the various requests like comments only or top 10 articles or or last 10 updates ...

i knw it displays dynamically... is it something like it process the request..and in formload event it displays the retrieved rss in the page or what does it do to process those...

im clear with what is rsss and all...only thing is i just want to know how does dynamic pages display rss..for the various requests..

..i already created the some rss files which each time a new post happens my applicaiton writes it to the rss file..and its validated and working well.

thanx to u all

Ok, if it ends in aspx or php you are it is doing some processing. Without a specific example, I can't really tell you exactly. However, most likely it is a feed aggreator of some sort. It either pulls from a DB or some other datasource like XML file or a remote RSS feed then formats then and serves them to you. If it is a db it will just do the SQL query and format the text in RSS 2.0 format. If it is XML you can parse the XML them format it using a interative or recursive call, or use a XSLT transform. Thinks like XPATH, XmlDocuments, System.Xml, and XSL in general will help with this. However, the XML could be formated in RSS format so all you would have to do is redisplay it in your feed.


You can find an example at http://sourceforge.net just search for RSS asp.net.
