MVC2 - consume RSS feed with RDF and namespace http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns# '

I am trying to read a feed for the Washington Fish and Wildlife Squad and save this error:

An element named 'RDF' and the namespace 'Http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#' is not a valid feed format.

Here is the code from RssController:

public virtual ActionResult Index() { string feedUrl = @"http://wdfw.wa.gov/news/newsrss.php"; using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(feedUrl)) { **SyndicationFeed rss = SyndicationFeed.Load(reader);** return View(rss); } }

I made seveal RSS applications, but nave never encountered this problem. Has anyone got any specific ways to parse this in ASP.NET MVC 2? (asterisk strings where an exception occurs.

No support for RSS 1.0. An example of how to enable your own support is here: http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/031809-1.aspx

This may not apply to you, since it seems that you are only interested in RSS, but if you want RDF support for your application (RSS 1.0 uses RDF / XML to encode data), you can try my dotNetRDF library.

I suspect the full-blown RDF API is probably too picky, judging by your question.
