I am working on some interesting stuff with pulling and reading RSS data. One thing I wanted to get up fairly quickly is a little sample that can be used to retrieve and show RSS based data from a Windows Form DataGrid using five lines of code.

Dim reader As XmlTextReader = New XmlTextReader _("http://radio.weblogs.com/0131777/categories/datagridProgramming/rss.xml")

Dim ds As DataSet = New DataSet

ds.ReadXml(reader)

DataGrid1.DataSource = ds

Now that is cool!
