Feed Reader - Compare The Feed To The Database And Only Load New Items Into The Database
Nov 8, 2011
I am trying to figure something out. I have an application in which I am adding the ability to consume a feed. I have no problem with the feed itself, but my problem is how can I mark certain items as 'read'? The only thing I can thing of is to read the feed into a database. In this database, I add a column for 'read' which I update when the user has read the article. Then each time I retrieve the feed, I compare the feed to the database and only load new items into the database.

I have created an RSS Feed Reader using Visual Basic that displays a list of the news item titles in a tree view style and its link when the '+' icon is clicked. From this I have used the web browser control in visual studio to create a small web browser that will show the web page of the link that is clicked in the tree view.What I am having problems with is that i would like to create a button that will open a new web browser window and display the same link in it that is being displayed in the mini web browser on my feed reader. To do this the code I have so far is:
Private Sub expandBrowser_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles expandBrowser.Click
If expandBrowser.Tag.ToString = 0 Then

I am having trouble extracting the response XML from an XMLHTTP request.
I am currently subscribed to a RSS Feed, [URL]
The code I have only retrieves the first 20 posts rather than all of the 133 posts that I see.
I am linking the problem to cookie settings. I seem to think that the request I am sending is not incorporating the cookie settings that I have on my computer.
You may have to subscribe to a feed to extract more than 20 posts. The standard for RSS feeds (without subscriptions) only allows a user to view 20 posts, HOWEVER, with subscription, the feed's number of posts grows.
Provided is the code I have implemented so far
Sub tester()
Dim xmlreq As MSXML2.XMLHTTP
Dim xmldoc As MSXML2.DOMDocument
Dim strurl As String
[Code]....

I'm semi new to visual basic, and I wanted to know if it is possible to make an RSS feed in visual basic that updates through a homepage that I give a link to and will post the information about the homepage in a text box or in seperate labels and perhaps have them link to the feed it is getting the info from. This I slikely far fetched but if there is any way to bring an RSS feed into the picture for my launcher for world of Warcraft that I am making customly, (Yes I know the regular wow launcher is good but I have a custom one I made with command buttons that lead to forums and homepage and play retail wow along with a private server command button)

I am reading data from an API feed and saving the chunks into files. When the files reach 2 MB I start a new file and write to that file. What happens now is that an entry (<entry></entry>) can get cut off at the end of a file and continues into the new file. I try and reconstruct the files by taking the last entry and combining it with the first entry of the next file but this is tedious handling the data transmission and file creation.
Do
timestamp = DateTime.Now
numbytesread = responseStream.Read(bufferread, 0, BUFFER_SIZE)
If numbytesread > 123 Then
'timestamp = DateTime.Now
responseData = Encoding.UTF8.GetString

How do I consume my WordPress blog's RSS feed to display my latest blog posts on my homepage? I ran into the following piece of code to do this:
Function GetRSSFeed(strURL as String) as DataTable
'Get the XML data
Dim reader as XmlTextReader = New XmlTextReader(strURL)
[Code]....
But it errors out at this line: 'ds.ReadXml(reader)' with the following error:
A column named 'comments' already belongs to this DataTable.
Perhaps it doesn't work since this code is from 2003? Does anyone have a working code sample?

I have never touched RSS feeds before.
What would I need to do in order to set my page up so that it can get a RSS feed onto the page?
I have a page that reads information from a database through a repeater control
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:Repeater ID="myRepeater" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
[Code]....
Is it possible to set up a RSS feed to this repeater control?

I need to create a application in vb.net that puts out those cool <<Subscribe to ical>> links, which I can prefill with our events and milestones. While I have figured out I need to use DDay.ical.dll to get the events into a .ics file, I am not clear about how to get these to publish. I was thinking of using an RSS feed, but that defeats the purpose of using icals and would require a RSS to ICal converter,which seems unnecessary.

I am developing a background wallpaper changer for Windows. I am looking into pulling images from RSS feeds. As how they are displayed from feed to feed changes, I am currently pulling the page as text and searching for text such as "<img src="... and others. Obviously this is not a viable option, how else could I complete this?

[code]The code within the Private Sub replace the spaces within txtCallnumber.Text with carriage return line feed and does what I need it to, but when I place the code into the Private Sub that is above it places the carriage return line feed into the cells in the datagridview: column(CALL NUMBER). The txtCallnumber.Text is bound to the DataGridView column(CALLNUMBER). I do not want the DataGridView column(CALLNUMBER) to have the carriage return line feed

I've created a page that makes several calls to different rss feeds based on the keywords I pass to the page. The problem is that each call takes .5 - 2 seconds to get a response and display the results. If I multiply the number of keywords by the time I end up with a very slow loading page. Is there a way to execute all of the calls at one time?
