I want to know how can I grab the news from BBC website news ticker and display in my windows forms applications? similary I want to get the news from other news websites, cnn, aljazeera, etc.. Jassim, Your best bet would be to check to see if they have RSS feeds which you can access and then scroll that information. Otherwise, you will have to deal with proprietary formats for each site, or worse, screen scrape each site.

Jassim, Well, RSS has a schema defined for it which the feed conforms to. All the other feeds will conform (or should, at least) conform to that schema. Because of that, you will know where and when elements occur. Given that, you can easily load the XML document and then find the elements with the information you want to use.

Jassim, Have you taken a look at the RSS specification? There are elements in the feed which tell when the item is published, as well as when the last time the content of a channel changed, etc, etc. Take a look, I think you will find out all you need from the specification: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html Signature- Nicholas Paldino [.NET/C# MVP] - mvp@spam.guard.caspershouse.com > how will i know if the file was updated with latest news? > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >>>>>display in my windows forms applications? similary I want to get the >>>>>news from other news websites, cnn, aljazeera, etc.. Jassim, An easy way to handle the display of an RSS feed is to load it into a DataSet with the ReadXml method: DataSet ds = new DataSet(); ds.ReadXml("urlofRssFed"); there will be several DataTables in your DataSet, you can inspect to find out which is the relevant one (usually it is ds.Tables[3], but not always). Then, you can databind this table to your favorite control such as a DataGridView. -- Peter Recursion: see Recursion site: http://www.eggheadcafe.com unBlog: http://petesbloggerama.blogspot.com BlogMetaFinder: http://www.blogmetafinder.com > this is the RSS feed for BBC. can you tell me how can i do what you have > mentioned..
