Update RSS from another XML file?

Question

Hey. I am quite new to the whole web development/programming. I am trying to create an RSS feed which gets info from a separate XML file.

I know basics about XML and RSS, but I don't know how to make it updade. Lets say I update the XML then how would the RSS update automatically? Can someone maybe put me on the right track? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

In which programming language do you want to accomplish this? One way would be to run a program that does some XML parsing and writing, e.g. PHP with SimpleXML and running the script as a cronjob.

[Edit:] You could use LINQ to XML for that in ASP.NET, it is easy to use, just look at tutorials like Using LINQ to XML or
