RSS for Microsoft CRM 3.0

Here it is...RSS for MS CRM

Announcing the release of sample code that allows you to use RSS, a protocol for delivery of information over the Internet, to easily access Microsoft CRM data! Microsoft CRM provides a secure, central data collection, storage, and modification tool for business data while RSS provides the transport mechanism.

While it was originally crafted for the syndication of news stories, RSS can be used for delivering other types of information as well. After information is provided in RSS format, an RSS reader application, or aggregator, dynamically retrieves and displays the information. The RSS reader periodically checks for new information and notifies you when something new and of interest to you has arrived.

Download this package to learn how you can combine Microsoft CRM and RSS technologies to receive dynamic updates to critical company business data that directly affects how you do business.

The download includes a sample Web application for accessing business data feeds from Microsoft CRM using RSS technology. You'll also find information about how to install and use the sample software, and how to dynamically retrieve and display Microsoft CRM data in commonly available RSS reader applications.

You can download this package here:

I am having some trouble with this implementation.  The link that should provide the feed gives an error, and the URL changes to the following:
http://dmpsrv3.digmap.local:5555/_common/error/errorhandler.aspx?errNum=&errMessage=CS0246%3a+The+type+or+namespace+name+'RSSServices'+could+not+be+found+(are+you+missing+a+using+directive+or+an+assembly+reference%3f)

The only thing that may be slightly different from the directions is we have our site hosted from this directory:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft CRM\CRMWeb
and directions reference this directory:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\rss

Any help?
Thanks!

CRM 4.0 is no longer a part of the Microsoft Certified and Gold Certified Partner Program. Here is an email response from the Microsoft Regional Service Center:

This is in response to your e-mail regarding your Product Key for CRM 4.0.

We apologize for any confusion you may be encountering due to this matter. CRM 4.0 is not a benefit of the Partner program as of now. The downloads from MSDN are only available to our Partners for testing and development purposes. If you would like to purchase CRM 4.0, you may feel free to contact our Sales Department at (800)426-9400 for further information.

This is a big blow to us Gold Certified CRM Partners!!
