Resource Page Description
Oringally this tool was called he Code Gallery Download Report and was just an app designed to give you a consolidated download count for all Code Gallery resources and releases for all files. I built it because I wanted to get some experience with .NET’s support of feeds (SyndicationFeed Class). All of the resource releases are availabe via a feed so I was able to learn the RSS format and parse out the download details for each release to give a count.
The new version adds support for monitoring downloads and discussions, complete with optional system tray messages that keeps you up to date with your Code Gallery resources. Also, the new app gives you a discussion browser for all of your Code Gallery Resources, with highlighting.
