Hello,

I have some data with geocoordinates. This data is incoming permanently (eg one new dataset per second).
I would like to share those datasets via GeoRSS to subscribe within my ArcGIS Viewer for Silverflex installation to show all occurences on a map.
There are enough samples in the internet describing how to create the xml structure etc (at the moment I would do it like described here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2548391/asp-net-c-sharp-write-rss-feed-for-froogle).
Consuming the GeoRSS within ArcVIewer for Silverlight would also not be a problem since I just have to insert the GeoRSS link in the on-board GeoRSS Tool.

What I am missing is:
- is there a way to make may geoRSS live as like a stream? Or do I need to recreate my RSS every time when new data is available (could do this every 10 seconds) and ask for new RSS within my client also every 10 seconds?
- I absolutely do not know what to do with my XML structure (which is stored in XDocument Object in my C# code). I guess I had to publish my xml via any web service (?). I cannot find any tutorial on publishing (or I am searching with wrong keywords)

I only found this publishin method (while I am not sure if I havnt to add some system configuration (for webservices) or if I just can use any URI I want without making any prerequisites like creating folders, isntalling anything...)

Also there is syndication used, Id rather like to use XMLDocument as like in my first link.

So any help and further Information would be grateful.

Thanks!

Sorry, no help, but I'm also looking for a similar solution.

We are required to upload data to another system via an Atom RSS feed. How do we go from polygon (native in ArcMap via ModelBuilder, or from REST point on Server via some C# magic....) to an Atom RSS feed?....
