An Easy Way to Consume a Twitter Search Feed With ASP.Net

Question

Anyone have an pointers on an easy way to consume a search.twitter.com feed with ASP.Net? I tried using the RSSToolKit, but it doesn't provide anything for parsing the and other tags in the feed.

For example: I want to parse this feed: http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=c%23 and make it appear on a page just like it does in the twitter search results (links and all).

Depending on what sort of hammer you prefer, you could use:

• An XSL transform, easy if you know XSL, painful if you've never used it

• Load it into an XmlDocument or XPathDocument, then iterate the nodes you want

• Put it into an XmlDataSource and then bind that to a repeater

Many other options too, they're just some of my preferred hammers
