An open-source .NET class library for RSS feeds. It provides a reusable object model for parsing and writing RSS feeds. It is fully compatible with RSS versions 0.90, 0.91, 0.92, and 2.0.1.

Based on the original RSS.NET open source project on Source Forge, with some improvements and bug fixes made by Telligent.

History

The RSS.NET Source Forge project was created on January 22, 2003. A stable release was never published, however a source code drop described as a "Nightly TAR containing current source" was released on the project web site, with the open-source MIT license. It was written in C#. The original RSS.NET project on Source Forge was abandoned and no further releases have been published.

While working on Community Server 2.0 in 2005, the developers at Telligent needed a feed parsing component that would work in ASP.NET 1.1 and 2.0. We used the source code from the RSS.NET Source Forge project as a base and have gradually made bug fixes and small improvements when necessary over the past couple years. These custom RSS.NET builds were used in Community Server 2.0 - 2008, and in the current Telligent Evolution platform.

Several customers have asked for the source code to be made available, so Telligent decided to move its custom RSS.NET project from an internal SVN server to this Google Code project. Now it is freely available for anyone to use.
