Is there a Microsoft Forum's SDK RRS feed

  • Question

  • I am considering writing a Windows 8 app to access a variety of Microsoft Forums.  Is there an SDK for this or do we have to use RSS / Screen Scrapes?

    If there is an appropriate forum to ask this to, please let me know.

  • Hi,

    Regarding Forum: I do not know a forum specific to this subject so I would suggest the Visual Studio General Questions forum.

    Regarding your project: you need the live sdk for authentication. And maybe you want to have a closer look at the community nntp bridge - then you have some sample code on how to read/write to the forum.

    With kind regards,

    Konrad

  • My issue with using NNTP is that I believe I would lose significant functionality because of the limitations of the protocol.  Things such as Mark as Answer, Mark as Helpful, Search capabilities etc.

    Admittedly, I have not looked at the information associated with this particular bridge yet, so I could be way off base.

    I guess that I was hoping that there were some web methods, and the like, already established that I could tie into.
