RSS feeds which generated by this library successfully pass W3C validation. You can test your RSS feeds at http://validator.w3.org/feed.
Easy to use library to create simple rss feeds and read foreign rss feeds. All processes are based on XmlSerializer and can be used as an example of how to use XmlSerializer :)
To read foreign rss feed you need to get stream with rss data and call RSSHelper.ReadRSS
var request = WebRequest.Create("http://example.org/rss/");
var response = request.GetResponse();
var stream = response.GetResponseStream();
Rss rss = RSSHelper.ReadRSS(stream);
Assert.AreEqual("Example", rss.Channel.Title);
Complete rss object will looks like this:
