I'm mainly interested in how to create a webform that will update an XML file. I want to do this in order to create a web application that. Basically, I want to add XML functionality onto the "Reviews" or "Gig Pics" section of this ASP.NET 4.5.1 book.

How can I add the following type of functionality to the PlanetWrox project?
...
Creates/edits an ASP.NET/C# webform that will post content that is saved to a SQL database. This will include a title,author, image and an article.

Stores and updates the data in an XML document for an RSS feed.

Then I want to display this on an ASP.NET website.

Please help, thanks!

Hi there,

I am little unclear on your requirements. Can you elaborate?

If all you want to do is provide a feed, just create an end point that retrieves the data from the database and returns XML. The best file type is probably a generic handler (an ashx file).

I think you nailed it Imar.

I want to provide a newsfeed of updates for the Gig or Reviews page.

Using the .ashx file is the best way to go about doing this?

Yep, I do. It's easy to create and has a lot less overhead compared to an ASPX page.

Cheers,

Imar
