How to Build an RSS News Reader

Rating 3.0 3.0
RSS (Rich Site Summary) news feeds are easily consumed and displayed in an ASP.NET web forms page using no more than a few lines of codes. However, listing the RSS news feed links in this fashion can take up considerable page space. Instead, it would be more convenient to display them in a small embedded window that automatically scrolls them to the user. This method substantially reduces the page real estate devoted to the news feed, while displaying the same information in a compact, attractive, and intuitive manner. Once you have developed a method for displaying RSS news in this format, it would be still more convenient to implement the method as a custom control that you can add to any ASP.NET web forms page with just a few lines of code. This article shows you how. In this article, you will learn how to create the illusion of continuous seamless scrolling by: 1) using two datagrids to display the same listing; and 2) scrolling the entire total list, but then repeating the scrolling when it has passed over the first list.
