My C#-based RSS screensaver is working now (no, you can't see it yet) -- it's built and running on another Windows machine. At first it wouldn't run because .Net Framework 2.0 wasn't installed, but once that was addressed it worked perfectly. The screensaver is a tweaked version of the one that ships with the Visual C# 2005 Express Edition -- I've added the ability to visit whatever RSS item is presently selected and disabled the ability of users to change the feed and image directories.
Of course, Windows Vista will come along, and its Windows RSS platform will negate all this work, but that probably won't be deployed at work for another two years, so it should have a short-but-useful life.
