This C# ASP.NET application uses the XmlDataSource control in ASP.NET 2.0 to consume RSS news feeds from Yahoo! The solution also uses a DataList  and a DropDownList control. From the web page, you can select a category from the DropDownList and have it change the contents of what is displayed in the DataList control. This solution limits the number of headlines per category to five. However, you can easily increase or decrease the headlines limit by changing a single value in the HTML source. Also, you can easily change the HTML source to consume RSS feeds from other providers. This solution was created using the Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition.
