[2005] A calendar page based on RSS or some regular feed..???

[mittalpa]

I am new to RSS and trying to develop a rss feed application and ran into few challenges. I am pretty sure people out there will have figured it out. So, no point in re-inventing the wheel. (Typical MS thinking )

1. It needs a calendar page (configurable to display 1 or upto 12 months)
2. Since feed will be coming daily, I need to create a page daily (hopefully dynamically).
3. If a date page is created then, for that date, an active hyperlink should be there in calendar. Conversely, if a date page is not present then no link in calendar.
4. Today's page becomes the default page of the site.


Please advise how I can approach this? Thanks in advance.

Look up HttpWebRequest on how to work with RSS feeds.

VB.NET does come with a calendar control, it's just a matter of reading a directory/creating a file and applying your logic to the calendar control.

Break your task down. Don't tackle it all at once. Pick one task to do, and post questions about it.
