CommunityRSS.aspx

The actual CommunityRSS.aspx file in our implementation is empty except for the @Page directive. There are no web controls on the page. Instead, we need to build an XML response and write the XML to the output stream from the code-behind. These high-level steps are reflected in the following Page_Load method:

SectionInfo sectionInfo = null;
XmlDocument xmlDoc;
ServiceResponseInfo responseInfo = null;
private void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.ContentType = @"text/xml";
CreateRss();
xmlDoc.Save(Response.Output);
}

The only method call in the Page_Load method is to CreateRss. When this method completes, we should have our XmlDocument member variable filled with RSS 2.0 compliant XML. Before arriving here, the CSK’s HttpModule determined the section the request is looking for and created a SectionInfo object. We need to fetch the SectionInfo object from the current context in order to build our response. We also want to cache our response to save database...
