What is RSS?
RDF Site Summary (RSS) files, based on XML, provide an open method of
syndicating and aggregating Web content. Using RSS files, you can create
a data feed that supplies headlines, links, and article summaries from
your Web site. This site is an aggregation of RSS content using SQLData
XML technologies.
What is the RSS News Reader?
SQLData RSS Reader is a browser-based tool for accessing news feeds
in RSS formats. The tool allows you to browse available news services
and read news summaries online. Current implementation supports RSS
0.91,
0.92 and RSS 1.0. How to use the RSS Reader?
You can use any one of the following methods to read news online:

Sample Code
You can provide RSS news feeds, similar to the RSS Reader, using
SQLData SOAP
Client Library. Here is a working sample for IIS:
set myAgent=Server.CreateObject("SQLDataSoap.SoapAgent")
MyAgent.SetProperty "DebugMode","4"
' retrieve the file using a cache manager, cache expires in 6000 seconds
content = MyAgent.RetrieveFile(request("uri"), "c:\temp\cache", 6000)
if content<> "" then
' load the rss file and transform the feed to HTML format
Transformed = MyAgent.Transform("http://soapclient.com/rss.xsl", "", content)
Response.Write(Transformed)
end if
The address of the remote RSS file is given by uri. Assume the
code is in a file called RSS.ASP, user can then use
http://yourhostname/rss.asp?uri=YourFavoriteFeed
to read the news.
