Use this    private string GetAlbumRSS SyndicationItem album                 string url               foreach  SyndicationElementExtension ext in album ElementExtensions              if  ext OuterName     itemRSS   url   ext GetObject lt string gt             return  url              protected void Page Load object sender  EventArgs e                string albumRSS          string url    http   www SomeSite com rss            XmlReader r   XmlReader Create url           SyndicationFeed albums   SyndicationFeed Load r           r Close            foreach  SyndicationItem album in albums Items                         cell InnerHtml   cell InnerHtml  string Format   lt br    gt  lt a href   0   gt  1  lt  a gt    album Links 0  Uri  album Title Text               albumRSS   GetAlbumRSS album

This is an old post  but to save people some time if you get here now like I did  I suggest you have a look at the CodeHollow FeedReader package which supports a wider range of RSS versions  is easier to use and seems more robust  https   github com codehollow FeedReader

Update  This supports only with UWP - Windows Community Toolkit There is a much easier way now  You can use the RssParser class  The sample code is given below  public async void ParseRSS         string feed   null       using  var client   new HttpClient                  try                       feed   await client GetStringAsync  quot https   visualstudiomagazine com rss-feeds news aspx quot                      catch                if  feed    null                var parser   new RssParser            var rss   parser Parse feed            foreach  var element in rss                        Console WriteLine   quot Title   element Title  quot                Console WriteLine   quot Summary   element Summary  quot                       For non-UWP use the Syndication from the namespace System ServiceModel Syndication as others suggested  public static IEnumerable  lt FeedItem gt  GetLatestFivePosts         var reader   XmlReader Create  quot https   sibeeshpassion com feed  quot        var feed   SyndicationFeed Load reader       reader Close        return  from itm in feed Items select new FeedItem           Title   itm Title Text  Link   itm Id        ToList   Take 5      public class FeedItem       public string Title           get          set            public string Link           get          set
