C# Async Gizmag RSS Client

[AceInfinity]

I started writing a new project a couple days ago. It's a minimal Gizmag RSS client. My progress so far:

- Full RSS feed retrieval (asynchronous)
- Save/load configuration (JSON) for last feed retrieval as indication for new feeds
- Save selected feeds (single or multiple) to file
- Save all feeds to file
- View general RSS feed information
- Navigate to selected feed original link (double click)

TODO:
- Feed search/filter
- Feed items sorting (by column) [ascending/descending]

:thumbsup2:

Ace,

May I know the IDE you are using? That colour scheme is looking really nice.

Nice work on the RSS Client!

That is Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 (Update 4). I came up with my own color scheme for the syntax :).

I never gave the thought of using my own colour scheme. I must admit that it is looking really good. Anyway, you could share that easily if you are fine with that?

I took the default one and made very minimal changes lol. It's easy to make that color scheme @blueelvis. :)

I am using Visual Studio only when I need to do anything with C#. I was recently introduced to GVim for C/C++ and it is working fantastic as of now.

Looks really nice, Ace! Great job.

- Feed items sorting (by column) [ascending/descending]

I'm guessing you've used an ObjectListView before? I used it for a small app and it was great:

ObjectListView ? ObjectListView 2.8.1 documentation

No, I've never used that before.. It's not part of the .NET BCL, although you don't need a ListView like that for sorting because the ListView has a Sort method that you can pass your own custom sorter.

The rest of the logic is just column click event delegates.
