    Hey folks - for the 2.0 .Net framework I wrote my own library to handle manually generating RSS feeds to expose site content to users in a RSS 2.0 feed. Generally speaking it built up an object model that matched the RSS 2.0 spec, populated the values by parsing a dataset, serialized everything into a string and wrote that out using a response.write call. Problem is I have to do some maintenance on this code to work properly with IE7's RSS manager (and a few others) but I understood that the newest 3.5 release already included code to generate your own feeds. From what I've been able to find it is supposed to be part of the WCF feature, but I have not been successful in either locating the namespace(s) that would be appropriate, nor can I locate any docs/samples/discussions on the web on creating a feed. (I have however found more than a bajillion links and examples on how to subscribe or read a Feed. I'm sure I'm missing something terribly obvious, and am hoping that I can avoid having to refactor any of my old code if possible. Can anyone throw me in the right direction/namespace to do this? Thanks in advance, Ted
