What does it do?
PONGen grabs the current TechEd 2005 Orlando Breakout schedule from an RSS feed, and generates multiple OneNote notebooks containing the latest Breakout Session schedule.
What happens when you run PONGen?
PONGen is a console application. You are not asked for any input in this version. PONGen opens the OneNote Importer object, creates a tab called General Info, and adds a page containing the full TechEd Orlando agenda for the week as published at the TechEd Conference Agenda page. A tab for each day of the conference (Sunday 5th – Friday 10th) is then created, and a daily Agenda page is added to each tab.
The RSS feed of the schedule of Breakout Sessions is then downloaded from http://www.msteched.com/content/BreakoutRSS.aspx, and loaded into an in-memory dataset. The description field of each session is parsed using regular expressions to extract the date, time slot and location, which are also added to the dataset. This dataset is then used to generate a page for each time slot, which contains all the Breakout Sessions that are available during that time slot.
