That tool really looks interesting, but I am currently unable to build the source page.

Can a compiled version (complete setup including the server) be shared directly?

Thanx

Ok – i’ve edited the config.xml to write to a .xml file as below –

C:\VSSRSSFeed\wwwroot\vss.xml

Presumably now this xml file should have entries made when there is activity in the VSS database?

Apologies if im being dense – tis is all very new (and exciting) to me, and im learning as i go along.

Just RSS as is, but you could modify the source to do whatever you want.

Thanks Greg – does the output have to be an XML file, or can i write to a MS word document etc?

@Kevin – the output path where the feeds will be written is specified in the config file. And the config file should live in the same directory that you put the binary.

Hi again – ive installed it and got it all set up on my system – how does the app pick up the info in the config.xml file?

Also, where does it write it to?

Thanks gregr – all downloaded and compiled, looking forward to playing around with this – looks like it could be just what we need!

@Kevin – this was source code; you’ll need to compile it.

Im a bit confused as to how exactly i should install this app? I have saved the zip file and extracted files to a local folder, but i was expecting some MSI or self extracting binary?

Any help much appreciated, as it looks a great app…
