Free web tools - Rss + Navigation

I seem to be making good money out of Scott Mitchell these days ;-)

First he gave me a nice way to generate Rss feeds:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnaspp/html/aspnet-createrssw-aspnet.asp

Now, he's released some more source that enables me to easily consume Rss feeds.  The RssFeed control is an ASP.NET server control that displays a list of items in any given RSS feed.  Basically you just point it at a feed Url and it returns a list of recent items.  You can view a live demo of this control here:

You can also read more about it here:

This control is a good, real world example of the Data-Bound Templated control from Chapter 20 in the “Developing ASP.NET Server Controls and Components“ book. 

Now, I'm off to check out another control of his:

...apparently it has had some nice features added since its debut.

What a nice guy :-)
