Hi,

I'm being a completely hopeless newbie here - can anyone help me.  I
*have* been trying to google how to do this stuff, but it is mostly
either ASP.NET (and I don't even know what that is...) or really
complicated.  I just want to start really really simple - I clearly
don't understand something basic!

What I have got so far, is below, I have a form with a multiline
textbox docked in it.

Public Class RSSMonitor

    Dim myFeed As XElement = XElement.Load("https://groups.google.com/
group/dotnetdevelopment/feed/rss_v2_0_msgs.xml")

    Private Sub RSSMonitor_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e
As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim ItemAuthors As String()
        ItemAuthors = From rssitem In myFeed.<item> Select
rssitem.<author>.Value
        TextBox1.Text = String.Join(vbCrLf, ItemAuthors)
    End Sub
End Class

This doesn't work - it complains that it can't cast to the string
array, but if I put the explicit cast in, then it says it can't do
that either.

All I am trying to do here, is populate the textbox with a list of all
the authors.  Obviously I'm hopeing to do much more afterwards, but
I'm falling flat on my face at the first hurdle.

If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great -
this is ever so disheartening!
