I'm trying to format some data out as an RSS feed. I already have a
perfectly good ASPX page that does the same thing with an <asp:repeater> so
I figured I'd take the page change the html tags to RSS tags and it would
all work fine.
Problem is that it appears that there's no way to tell VS or the compiler
that I really do want to push out XML and it complains that the XML tags are
not valid in 'the active schema'
<%@ Page Language="C#" ContentType="text/xml" %>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>My Title</title>
<link>http://www.mylink.com</link>
<asp:Repeater ID="Body" Runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<item>
....you get the idea.
I get a red squiggly under <rss that says 'the active schema does not
support the element rss', and of course the <asp: is equally unrecognised. I
have an RSS xsd file but there doesn't appear to be a way of making the ASPX
honor it (and even if I could would it still barf on the <asp: tags).
[Note: I know I can do it all in the code behind with an XMLWriter and yes
I've wasted more time on this than it would have taken me to write the code
but its the principle of it !!! :-) ]
