@Aki, A couple of things 1) Si kwa ubaya, but you'll catch more bees with honey than with cowdung. Nobody is obliged to help you. Getting questions answered is not a right. Ergo if you insult people by calling them "wana-biashara customizers/tweekers <developers?> " i wonder what sort of responses you'll get when you need help 2) RSS and ATOM are very well documented protocols and a quick google could have sorted you out. 3) If you are on the .NET platform all the hard work has been done for you in the excellent System.ServiceModel.Syndication namespace (On .NET 4). It has classes to create and consume RSS 2 and Atom 1. You can find the documentation in MSDN or online here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.servicemodel.syndication.aspx 4) The next time you write an email in anger, save it in the drafts and them come back after 24 hours and read it. You will find that being calmer will allow you to not send emails you might regret On Tue, Jan 11, 2011 at 8:47 AM, aki <aki275@gmail.com> wrote:
@Patrick, I appreciated your response on reverse engineering ( using the IDE to look at the processes ) to understand the process but I can only reverse engineer something if I understand it well enough. :-)
A general comment. After my disappointment with this thread, I sent a pm to a friend out there last night. He responded to me within 30 mins with a suggestion of a book that helped him on such issues. I bought the book online it has detailed everything that I need to know. Though it does not cover asp.net and c# ( my platform ), it is very throrough with the web syndication covering both RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 formats. It also covers a full subject on creating a very basic java based aggregator so I will interpret this for my platfrom. I'm finally off to a good start. I personally banned asking any more questions on this "wana-biashara customizers/tweekers <developers?> " list. Harsh? Web Syndication is as much of web programming as creating logon boxes and writing verification codes.
Rgds.

Sounds pretty fateful, do you have a source control system? maybe if you were more detailed and provided the source code, detailing what you want to achieve and where you're hitting the wall, there might be more help, not just from KE but from all over the world.
