.NET Framework Class Library
Rss20FeedFormatter Class

A class that serializes a SyndicationFeed instance to and from RSS 2.0 format.

Namespace:  System.ServiceModel.Syndication
Assembly:  System.ServiceModel.Web (in System.ServiceModel.Web.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Class Rss20FeedFormatter _
    Inherits SyndicationFeedFormatter _
    Implements IXmlSerializable
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As Rss20FeedFormatter
C#
public class Rss20FeedFormatter : SyndicationFeedFormatter, 
    IXmlSerializable
Visual C++
public ref class Rss20FeedFormatter : public SyndicationFeedFormatter, 
    IXmlSerializable
JScript
public class Rss20FeedFormatter extends SyndicationFeedFormatter implements IXmlSerializable

Use this class to serialize instances of SyndicationFeed and to create instances of SyndicationFeed from XML documents that represent RSS 2.0 feeds. If you have derived a class from SyndicationFeed and want to serialize it, use the Rss20FeedFormatter<(Of <(TSyndicationFeed>)>) formatter.

The following code shows how to create a SyndicationFeed and serialize it to RSS 2.0.

Visual Basic
Dim feed As SyndicationFeed = New SyndicationFeed("Test Feed", "This is a test feed", New Uri("http://Contoso/testfeed"), "TestFeedID", DateTime.Now)
Dim item As SyndicationItem = New SyndicationItem("Test Item", "This is the content for Test Item", New Uri("http://Contoso/ItemOne"), "TestItemID", DateTime.Now)

Dim items As List(Of SyndicationItem) = New List(Of SyndicationItem)()
items.Add(item)
feed.Items = items

Dim rssWriter As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create("RSS.xml")
Dim rssFormatter As Rss20FeedFormatter = New Rss20FeedFormatter(feed)
rssFormatter.WriteTo(rssWriter)
rssWriter.Close()
C#
            SyndicationFeed feed = new SyndicationFeed("Test Feed", "This is a test feed", new Uri("http://Contoso/testfeed"), "TestFeedID", DateTime.Now);
            SyndicationItem item = new SyndicationItem("Test Item", "This is the content for Test Item", new Uri("http://Contoso/ItemOne"), "TestItemID", DateTime.Now);

        List<SyndicationItem> items = new List<SyndicationItem>();
        items.Add(item);
            feed.Items = items;

            XmlWriter rssWriter = XmlWriter.Create("RSS.xml");
            Rss20FeedFormatter rssFormatter = new Rss20FeedFormatter(feed);
            rssFormatter.WriteTo(rssWriter);
            rssWriter.Close();
