I'm using the Function below to get XML feeds
and calling the XML doc in

But if they are no availabe rss feeds i would like to display
"Sorry No Headlines/News at the moment"

Any ideas


page_load like:-

myXml.Document = getXML("http://www.crn.com.au/rss.aspx?SCID=9")

---------------------------------
Function getXML(ByVal sourceFile As String)
Dim myRequest As System.Net.WebRequest =
System.Net.WebRequest.Create(sourceFile)
Dim myResponse As System.Net.WebResponse =
myRequest.GetResponse()
Dim myReader As System.Xml.XmlTextReader = New
System.Xml.XmlTextReader(myResponse.GetResponseStream())
Dim doc As System.Xml.XmlDocument = New System.Xml.XmlDocument

doc.Load(myReader)
getXML = doc



myResponse.Close()

myReader.Close()

End Function

At the moment I would suggest researching the use of the AJAX
methodology --- A(synchronous) JA(vascript) X(ml) --- which will allow you
to refresh part of a page without a noticeable trip to the server (no page
flash and no page refresh).
