Dan Fernandez writes: One of my favorite features of C# Express is the built-in RSS Screensaver Starter Kit. If youve never built a screensaver before, or if you have never written code that uses RSS, then youll find the RSS Screen saver a great way to start programming. In a nutshell, the RSS Screen saver is a screen saver that lets you select and validate an RSS feed, select a background directory for images to loop through, and the screensaver will loop through the items in the RSS feed....

Andy,

The screen saver is included inside Visual C# 2005 Express Edition. To download C# Express, go to: http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/vcsharp/default.aspx and click Download Now.

Once you have C# Express installed, simply click File...New Project...and select "Screen Saver".

Does any one have the solution files alone for the screensaver. I don't want to download the hole VSExpress, I'm just after the screen saver code.

Some relation with this?: http://www.nuparadigm.com/Products/Toys/RssScreensaver/

Hey Leandro,

Good find :)

I can't be sure, but it looks like NuParadigm uses the same codebase given the similarity in appearance and the fact that they are both managed code screensavers.

Thanks,

I would love to play around with this code, but it looks like it only comes with the Express edition. Since I've already purchased the Professional edition and given the fact that Microsoft won't provide a download link, I can only assume Microsoft doesn't want its paying customer to have it.

I started to get a bit irked but then I realized who I was dealing with here. Microsoft has been championing the cause of making simple tasks more difficult for years now. Why should this be any different?

Hey Dave,

I saw your comment here:

**was dealing with here. Microsoft has been championing
**the cause of making simple tasks more difficult for years
**now. Why should this be any different?"

I'm glad you left a comment, the RSS Screensaver ships in *every* copy of Visual Studio 2005. To create the RSS Screensaver starter kit, hit File...New Project...expand the "C#" tree, select "Starter Kits" and select the RSS Screensaver starter kit.

If you have a question, feel free to ask, we have dedicated forums on http://forums.microsoft.com and I'm sure someone could have answered this question really quickly without jumping to the conclusion that our goal is "making simple tasks more difficult".

Thanks,
-Dan

Does anyone know why i get the following error:

Namespace Manager or XsltContext needed. This query has a prefix, variable, or user-defined function.

The tag in the rss feed is <content:encoded>, and it doesn't like it for some reason.
