happens to read the rss feed

How about something like this:

public DataSet GetRSSFeed(string rssUrl)
{
// LOGIC:
// get xml from remote uri into a dataset

DataSet dsRssFeed = new DataSet();
XmlReader rssReader = new XmlTextReader(rssUrl);
dsRssFeed.ReadXml(rssReader);
return dsRssFeed;
}

Pretty barebones. You should probably add exception handling and you might
want to stick the dataset into the cache so you're not reading it every time
the page is hit. You can also bind the dataset (or datatable) to a datagrid.
You can iterate through the entries.
