This is the part 2 of how to build a simple feed reader following the style of the Gmail Notifier Plus which uses basically the Windows 7 taskbar features.
Part 1 was about the XAML part of the application, this part will show how to read the feeds asynchronously, how to change the ProgressBar and have an auto update features to read feeds.
First we need a prototype class to hold the feeds :
- namespace BlogInto_win7
- {
- public class Feed
- {
- public int Id { get; set; }
- public string Title { get; set; }
- public string Link { get; set; }
- public string PubDate { get; set; }
- public string Author { get; set; }
- public string Description { get; set; }
- public string Votes { get; set; }
- }
- }
