Namespace:  System.ServiceModel.Syndication
Assembly:  System.ServiceModel.Web (in System.ServiceModel.Web.dll)

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Class Rss20ItemFormatter _
    Inherits SyndicationItemFormatter _
    Implements IXmlSerializable
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As Rss20ItemFormatter
C#
public class Rss20ItemFormatter : SyndicationItemFormatter, 
    IXmlSerializable
Visual C++
public ref class Rss20ItemFormatter : public SyndicationItemFormatter, 
    IXmlSerializable
J#
public class Rss20ItemFormatter extends SyndicationItemFormatter implements IXmlSerializable
JScript
public class Rss20ItemFormatter extends SyndicationItemFormatter implements IXmlSerializable

Use this class to serialize instances of SyndicationItem and to create an instance of SyndicationItem from an XML document that represents an RSS 2.0 item. If you have derived a class from SyndicationItem and want to serialize it, use the Rss20ItemFormatter<(Of <(TSyndicationItem>)>) formatter.

The following code shows how to create a SyndicationItem instance and serialize it.

Visual Basic
Dim item As SyndicationItem = New SyndicationItem("Test Item", "This is the content for Test Item", New Uri("http://Contoso/ItemOne"), "TestItemID", DateTime.Now)

item.Links.Add(New SyndicationLink(New Uri("http://Contoso"), "alternate", "MyItemLink", "text/html", 100))
item.PublishDate = New DateTime(1968, 2, 23)
item.LastUpdatedTime = DateTime.Today
item.SourceFeed = New SyndicationFeed()
item.Summary = New TextSyndicationContent("This the item summary")

Dim rssWriter As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create("RssItem.xml")
Dim formatter As Rss20ItemFormatter = New Rss20ItemFormatter(item)
formatter.WriteTo(rssWriter)
rssWriter.Close()

C#
SyndicationItem item = new SyndicationItem("Test Item", "This is the content for Test Item", new Uri("http://Contoso/ItemOne"), "TestItemID", DateTime.Now);

item.Links.Add(new SyndicationLink(new Uri("http://Contoso"), "alternate", "MyItemLink", "text/html", 100));
item.PublishDate = new DateTime(1968, 2, 23);
item.LastUpdatedTime = DateTime.Today;
item.SourceFeed = new SyndicationFeed();
item.Summary = new TextSyndicationContent("This the item summary");

XmlWriter rssWriter = XmlWriter.Create("RssItem.xml");
Rss20ItemFormatter formatter = new Rss20ItemFormatter(item);
formatter.WriteTo(rssWriter);
rssWriter.Close();
