Updated RSS Aggregator Web Part

I have posted an updated version of my RSS Aggregator web part here. The new version includes some stability enhancements, better error reporting, and the option to open links in a new window. Unfortunately I don't have time at the moment to implement some of the other changes people have asked for, like XSL Formatting and summary text, but hopefully I'll get around to those soon. The zip file includes full source code and a readme file with installation instructions.

UPDATE: Turns out I was already capturing the body text for each listing so I added an option to toggle summary text on and off (first 256 characters of the body).

Is the summary toggle part of the latest version?

Eric,

This Aggregator web part looks like it will fit my needs perfectly! Thank you!

However, after installing the version linked from this blog post, I can't find the toggle to turn on Summary text. Should it show up under Miscellaneous when I modify the web part?

I assume this is simply my own user error, but could you point me to the toggle?

Thanks.

New Binaries

I posted a recompiled version of the project. I'm not sure why the Summary option was missing but it should be working now. Get the zip file here:

Couple of problems

Eric -

Thanks for updating this.

1) I installed it fine on WSS3 but when I tried to add a feed I get this error:

URL I tried: http://weblogs.asp.net/aspnet-team/rss.aspx

Request for the permission of type 'System.Net.WebPermission, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.

2) I'm trying to display an aggregated blogs list from the same WSS3 instance. All of the blogs are in My Sites, so the address is something like:

http://the IP of the WSS installation/personal/user/Blog/_layouts/listfeed.aspx?List={BB37A9DB-6B94-4980-8433-7965A9C01AC5}

Do you have any ideas what's causing these 2 issues?
