Picture Services Sample Released

Published by erossetto on August 30, 2007 under Uncategorized

As Justin announced here, the Picture Services sample was released a few days ago. It’s cool when a project you’re involved in (in my case helping the DPE folks) sees the light. :)

The sample centers around the new WCF 3.5 Syndication API, and shows a variety of cool technologies and scenarios (more info on the Picture Services homepage), here’s a list of my favorite features shown in the sample that will hopefully catch your attention:

  1. How easy is to load and work with any feed on the web (ATOM or RSS) with the new Syndication API
  2. How to extend feeds with custom extensions, the sample shows how to add SLE (Simple List Extensions) to a RSS feed
  3. How to add enclosures
  4. How to return HTML documents with WCF
