RSS reader in VB 2008?

Are there any built in libraries/classes in VB 2008 to help to create an RSS reader?

Are there any tutorials online that would help?

Please provide links when answe开发者_如何学编程ring the second part of the question.

System.ServiceModel.Syndication contains a bunch of classes for creating and consuming RSS and Atom feeds.

Edit: I've never used these classes, so I can't give any examples from my own code. However, a quick search turned up some examples that seem pretty good. Sorry they're not in VB, but the important parts (using the Syndication classes) are mostly the same in both languages.

Not exactly built in.

RSS documents are XML documents; you do have XmlDocument or can XML serialize a class to create that RSS feed.
