RssView.ascx
OK, Duncan has overly promoted a chunk of junk piece of code I wrote. So, I feel obliged to share, and embarrass myself again.
Before I start, the requirements:
- The code was intended to run on the upcoming Longhorn Developer Center
- The idea was to have code that could run without dependencies (that is, my initial DLL based control wouldn't work)
- I wrote it fast -- I expect true XML folk will have a problem or 15 with it. Send them on.
Vast documentation:
