Introduction

I needed a tool to convert all my RSS Feeds from RSSBandit to NewsGator format. I couldn't find anything pre-built, so I wrote this really really really simple conversion program.

This is a very small tool that will convert your RSSBandit news feeds to OPML format. OPML is used by more RSS Readers like SharpReader and NewsGator.

Use

Export your feeds from RSSBandit.

At the cmd prompt, type:

RSSConvert "<input path>" "<output path>"

Import them to the new program.

Example:

RSSConvert "c:\rss\feeds.xml" "c:\rss\feeds.opml"

C# source included. This tool uses the .NET Framework.

Matthew Hazlett

I started programming for fun when I was about 10 on an Franklin Ace 1000.

I still do it just for fun but it has gotten me a few jobs over the years. More then I can say for my Microsoft Certifications. Smile

The way I learned was by example, now its time to give back to the next generation of coders.
