Within a site I am working on, the previous developer put together a very rudementary function to re-create the RSS Feed at the click of a button. I need to be able to have the RSS Feed continuously up-to-date without clicking on the button and running the function.
This is written in C#
Can anyone help me on what to do please?

I am trying to add in a program or script to a OneNote Page that will allow me to change select which part is needed and change the quantity and have it spit out the text format seen next to it. I'm not sure if this can be done using xml or if I would have to use C#.
UI look
The videos and documentation I find online are not very helpful or maybe I'm confusing myself
Currently creating an app in C# on Xamarin and have hit a brick wall. I have created apps before but when completed they were completed, it's different this time.
I'm currently creating an app which requires data to be updated weekly.
Essentially I have a txt file which is currently part of the app, this txt file is split up with each 'line' in the file being added to a list to show data in a listview.
What I need to know is how to make the app so that this txt file can be updated on a weekly basis without the need for a full new app download (who would want to do that every week?).
Thanks in advance for any help offered.
If you want to update some file weekly the best way is to consume rest services. Xamarin.forms has made this pretty simple.
You should give a try to take a look at these examples provided my xamarin documentation : consuming rest services and this link is pretty useful too. If you are looking at more detailed example I can provide you with one. :)
HI I am pretty new in C# sphere. Been in php and JavaScript since the beginning of this year. I want to scrap posts and comments from a blog. The site is http://www.somewhereinblog.net

3. Then use regular expressions, xpath whatever comes handy to separate the contents of posts and comments
I been searching all over. Understood very little. Though I am quite sure I need to use 'htmlagilitypack'. I dont know how to add a library to c# console or form application. Can someone give me some help? I badly need this. And I am not too into C# just a week. So would be grateful if there is some detailed information. Waiting eagerly.
Thanks in advance brothers.
Using Webclient you can login and download
Instead html-agility-pack I like CsQuery because lets you use jQuery syntax inside a string in C# code, so you can download to a string the html, and search and do things in it like with jQuery and HTML page.
This website that keeps updating some live information about the bus timings in Helsinki.
I want to parse the live information from the website and display it on my WP7 phone. The user needs to enter the bus stop number and the WP7 app should show the buses/trams currently in the bus stop.
Is there any way I could obtain the real time information from the website?
If you look at the source of the website (http://www.omatlahdot.fi/omatlahdot/web?command=fullscreen&stop=1020455) -- in IE right-click on the page and select View Source -- you'll see that there's really very little in the actual source file, in particular none of the data is there. All of the hard work is coming from the referenced javascript file scripts/fullscreen_header.js (full path is http://www.omatlahdot.fi/omatlahdot/scripts/fullscreen_header.js). You want to download that .js file and study how it retrieves data with AJAX calls. Start with the reloadPage function.
You can make these same calls (e.g., using WebClient) to retrieve the data into your application. If you want to extract the data from the returned HTML, I'd consider parsing it simply as a string since I am assuming that it would have a very regular structure and dragging in a general-purpose HTML parser would probably be overkill.
Alternatively, you might find out if the omatlahodot.fi provides the data as JSON or XML feeds, so you don't have to "screen-scrape" the HTML. I don't read Finnish, so I can't help you with that. Look around on their websites (maybe a section called "dev" or "api") or send them an email inquiry.
Please let us know how it works out!
I am studying computer science and we have to do a programming project which must be strongly related to XML and using XSD and XSLT or XQuery/XPath at least. Because I like C# I'd like to do it in this language, but I could use another if anyone has another idea.
My Idea is now to code some kind of appointment book. I imagine that all appointments for the week are shown as HTML and you can enter for each day appointment notes in the textarea for this day.
Now my question: How can I take over the data entered in the textboxes? The application is an offline one so I have no web server receiving the GET request containing the entered data. Is it possible to read the current HTML DOM from memory with all its entered values and then transform it to an XML format for persistent storage from which it could be read in later?
Or is this idea totally stupid?
How else can I put all those XML technologies in one app?
If you want to show UI Generation from XSLT, the web page approach is easiest.
More impressive is generation of XAML from XSLT -> windows app (WPF).

Why does it have to be Web based?
You can use those technologies in a Windows Application.
You can use JavaScript. Convert the data into XML or JSON and output it to another element, like div, or textarea.
What you need to do is set a function that does all this and gets executed on submit.
Check this example. Also to speed things up, you can use a library like jQuery.
Being at home and offline do not mean you don't have a Web server. There are zillions of ready-made packages which offer an embedded HTTP server so that the same application can run online and offline without any modification. Very convenient.
(I know you us C# but, just to show an example, I use wsgiref.simple_server for that purpose.)
Why not make a windows app that allows the user to update the appointments which are stored in an XML file. Then use a stylesheet to display the appointments in a web browser.
