Visual Basic 2015 Unleashed

The Synchronous Approach

Create a new WPF project with Visual Basic 2015 and .NET Framework 4.6. The application will consume the Visual Basic RSS feed exposed by the Microsoft’s Channel9 website, with particular regard to the list of published videos. Each item in the feed has a large number of properties, but for the sake of simplicity only the most important will be presented in the application’s UI. So, the first thing you need to do is create a class that represents a single video described in the feed. Listing 42.1 demonstrates how to implement a class called Video.
