Developing RSS feed in Screensaver With C# Express Edition 2005



Alrite ladies follow these steps to make your own screen saver. Whether you'll do it or not do it following my advice is NOT my concern. I'll set it occasionally for the heck of it for myself.

Here is a screen shot of having done it all and setting and validating my feed on the Screen Saver that we just cooked.



For whole set of print screens on setting up and running it then see it on my foto gallery here.
Steps are simple...
  • download the C#Express 2005 from MSDN
  • Start a project (as shown in the print screen)
  • Build it
  • Save it
  • Go to the folder where it was saved
  • Check under /bin and find the *.scr file
  • Copy that file to your windows\system32 dir (if in XP)
  • Select the NEWS screen saver
  • Edit settings and image(s) of your choice
  • And Run it
simple ain't it!

And play this AVI file to see how it works.

PS: As you can see it was a *Ready Baked code*, no development but you might want to...
o Do a mouse roll over to open a particular news directly from the screen saver, and we'll see how we can do that!

Virtualization: GlassHouse hopes to cash in with its IPO!

GlassHouse Technologies Inc. on Tuesday registered to raise as much as $100 million in an initial public offering that, despite the company's financial losses, could prove a hit with investors drawn to its focus on "virtualization" technology. The Framingham, Mass., company offers consulting services for companies that use virtualization software to improve the performance of corporate servers and cut costs in their data centers. GlassHouse also provides Internet-based data storage. "Software-as-a-service," or SaaS, companies and vendors of virtualization products have proved popular among investors in recent years as corporate customers seek alternatives to conventional packaged software. GlassHouse, with roots in both sectors, will test the strength of that interest, said Peter Falvey, managing director with Boston investment bank Revolution Partners. "It will be a bit of a bell weather," he says. "It's not as though it's the 15th SaaS m...
