Handling "Read/Unread Items" in RSS

I am working on integrating RSS reading into my ASP.NET web
application. So far I have it working just fine with showing the full
feed, but I'm not sure how to let it handle which items have been read
and not show them. Any suggestions on how to handle this with RSS
items?

taurin423,

You'll need to have some sort of data schema to handle this. For example,
if a user of your app reads a certain RSS item, you'll need to store that
username and the id of the RSS item in something like an Xml file so that
when the user comes back to the feed you will have everything you need to
display that is has been read.

What would you recommend using for the ID of an RSS item? Are there
any standards on how to store what items have been read or what to use
as an ID for an RSS item?

taurin423,

You could probably use the RSS url and item title as a unique identifier.
