[Check here for the source code: http://cid-10e568adbb498dc8.office.live.com/self.aspx/Windows%20Phone%20Source%20Code/RSSReader.zip and here for the respective video: http://www.studentguru.gr/learn/default.aspx?category=21&id=171 ] In this post, we are going to show how to create a very very very simple RSS reader for Windows Phone 7 using Expression Blend and Visual Studio in 5 minutes, using minimal code. The RSS reader we will create will fetch the RSS feed using a direct URL (although this can be easily modified) and display them on our device (or emulator). Furthermore, the application will start by showing a simple animation. First of all, we start by creating a new Windows Phone application project in Expression Blend. Let’s call it RSSReader. We’re going to create a simple animation to serve as a “welcome screen”. Start by dragging and dropping a TextBlock onto the designer surface. Let’s make it write “Welcome”. We’ll then press F6 (or select Window-Workspaces-Animation) to go to the Animation workspace.
