Karen’s Feed Reader | Programming for Windows in CSharp (Pilot Stream)

Karen’s Feed Reader will be an Atom/RSS feed reader. More later.

I streamed this a few minutes ago on our YouTube channel, https://youtube.com/@karenware. It’s not meant to be a complete, useful video. It’s a beta test of the studio setup.

The example program “consumes” the Atom/RSS feed for this blog. That feed URL is: https://blog.karenware.com/feed.

You can type that link into any Atom/RSS feed reader. If you click it now, you’ll see a bunch of XML stuff.

    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            var feed = FeedReader.Read("https://blog.karenware.com/feed");

            WriteLine("Feed Title: " + feed.Title);
            WriteLine("Feed Description: " + feed.Description);
            WriteLine("Feed Image: " + feed.ImageUrl);

            foreach (var item in feed.Items)
            {
                WriteLine(item.Title + " - " + item.Link);
            }

        }

        private void WriteLine(string text)
        {
            ListTheBox.Items.Add(text);
        }
    }
