Great post. A solution that just works if you want to customise an RSS feed in SharePoint 2103 / Office 365.
Thanks
Good Stuff,
I got the output what I wanted after hours of modification to your initial code.But yeah, the code did build the base. Thanks for It.
Just a question, after few minutes of running the webpart, it gives an error:
"Webpart has timed out", tested on SPS 2013 (OnPrem) and SharePoint Online.
Please assist.
Try unchecking the "automatically detect internet settings" in internet explorer for the web application service account (eg, spApp) and farm service account (eg, spFarm).
