Is RSS usually generated when you add new article/blog/information? I mean do you usually generate it when adding operation is successful?
I have built property website for client and they are using remote web app with property management from different company which feeds our website with clients properties using XML feeds.
How do I generate feeds in this case? We read data directly from their XML source so I dont know when client adds new property and therefore when RSS should update.
Should I do this periodically and how can I do that in .net?
Thanks.
Feeds are generally generated when requested, think of them just like any other webpage. Since you have mention .NET I assume you are using WebForms? If so have a look at the sample below it will explain how to generate the feed from a SQL Database but you can replace the datasource with your provider.
