I need to do regular snapshots of a few reports that are being generated by SSRS. I’ve pleaded for backend access to the data, but I am not allowed to connect to the database.
I have never done anything with data feeds / RSS, and I was wondering how I can get started with C# to grab the report generated in SSRS?
There’s an icon export to data feed:

How can I grab this data programmatically? Is there a way to utilize this export to data feed option?
