Q: 

Is there a more current way to fix the error encountered when parsing a DateTime value in the XML?

As you can see in this question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/210375/problems-reading-rss-with-c-and-net-3-5 There is a problem when trying to read some Rss Feeds that express their date differently.

I have tried the workaround posted there but I am not that experienced and I am trying it on Windows Phone 7. My main difficulty is that XmlTextReader seems to be inaccessible. So I was wondering if anyone could help me use XmlReader instead or if anyone knows a new workaround for this problem.

Thanks.

A: 

Have you tried to use System.Xml.Linq? I even saw a example application (RSS Reader ;p) for windows phone 7.

Thanks for the link but that app suffers from the same error mine does. An error was encountered when parsing a DateTime value in the XML. I posted a link to a possible workaround but I can't quite get it to work for me. You wouldn't happen to know how to apply it to that app you posted would you?

@Izzy Try sth like this: var notes = from note in rss select new { title = note.Attribute("title").Value, date = new DateTime(note.Attribute("date")) };

I'm not really sure about DateTime constructor and names of attributes but there should be some sort of clue ;-) [use System.Xml.Linq]
