RSS Datasource

Jan 27, 2013 01:17 PM|LINK

I am using the RSSToolKit 2 on my site. I can connect to the RSS Feed and using a datalist I get this:

<asp:DataList ID="DataList1" runat="server" DataSourceID="RssDataSource1">
        <ItemTemplate>
            title:
            <asp:Label ID="titleLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("title") %>' />
            <br />
            link:
            <asp:Label ID="linkLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("link") %>' />
            <br />
            comments:
            <asp:Label ID="commentsLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("comments") %>' />
            <br />
            pubDate:
            <asp:Label ID="pubDateLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("pubDate") %>' />
            <br />
            category:
            <asp:Label ID="categoryLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("category") %>' />
            <br />
            guid:
            <asp:Label ID="guidLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("guid") %>' />
            <br />
            description:
            <asp:Label ID="descriptionLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("description") %>' />
            <br />
            content:encoded:
            <asp:Label ID="content_encodedLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("[content:encoded]") %>' />
            <br />
            wfw:commentRss:
            <asp:Label ID="wfw_commentRssLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("[wfw:commentRss]") %>' />
            <br />
            slash:comments:
            <asp:Label ID="slash_commentsLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("[slash:comments]") %>' />
            <br />
            media:content:
            <asp:Label ID="media_contentLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("[media:content]") %>' />
            <br />
<br />
        </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:DataList>

When I try to access the "media:content i get an error saying:

DataBinding: 'RssToolkit.RssElementCustomTypeDescriptor' does not allow indexed access.

the "media:content" in the feed has an image URL=myimage.png and a medium="image"

How can I access the URL of the media:content node?

Hello,

You xml is too complicated, and I did this demo for you：

I've changed your xml and it looks like this below:

<rss version="2.0"
 xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
 xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"
 xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
 xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"
 xmlns:sy="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/"
 xmlns:slash="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/"
 xmlns:georss="http://www.georss.org/georss" xmlns:geo="http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/"

This is not my feed.

Not your feed?

I just fetch some of your feed codes and do a demo for you to tell you that you can fetch the xml node with the namespace like this.
