It would be useful to make this project more generalised by allowing the user to specify the URI to be searched.

Mike, that would take you 10 seconds to change the code to do that. Seriously.

Very cool example, Beth. It really illustrates the new powerful features and now I have a thousand things running through my mind on how I could use them!

You're doing a pretty good job of getting me excited for the release, keep it up.

Thanks!

Oh, Mike, forgot to mention that the code looks for matches in the category node. So, if you want to change the URI to something else, that new URI had better have a category node with "*tip of the day*" in it or your getting no matches.

Did you even read the post?!

Hi Mike, you can easily add another textbox (I'd suggest with auto-complete) to capture the feed URI and then save that in My.Settings. With the category you can either allow the category to be entered in the UI as well or you can remove the category filter from the query and specify the tagged feed instead. i.e. For Sara's tip of the day feed you can directly access it here: http://blogs.msdn.com/saraford/rss_tag_Visual+Studio+2008+Tip+of+the+Day.xml

Josh, I'm excited you're excited! :-)

A small comment about running your application with Vista.

I kept getting access denied for c:tiprss.xml, so i just moved it to another temp folder and it was working perfectly.

I like you application and will add it to my R&D collection;)

I made some modifications to my Visual Studio Tip of the Day browser application I created last week.

So what Turkey Day was last week?  No reason why we can't have a second helping of tip of the
