I was asked how to GET rss feed from a web site. During research, I found couple of ways to do it in .NET. Below is the simplest way as I can get.

///Sample using System.Net

WebRequest wr = HttpWebRequest.Create(@"http://msdn.microsoft.com/globalrss/en-us/global-msdn-en-us.xml");
WebResponse ws = wr.GetResponse();

StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(ws.GetResponseStream());
string str = sr.ReadToEnd();
this.textBox1.Text = str;

///Sample using System.Data

DataSet ds = new DataSet()
ds.ReadXml(@"http://msdn.microsoft.com/globalrss/en-us/global-msdn-en-us.xml");
string str = ds.GetXml()
this.textBox1.Text = str;
I feel so excited when I found that I can read web content using DataSet. Amazing!!
