Binding RSS in Silverlight without Syndication classes

An easy way to bind RSS feed in Silverlight. Uses a LINQ Query.

string rss = (string)e.ReturnValue;
XElement elem = XElement.Parse(rss);
var items = elem.Descendants("item");
var i = items.FirstOrDefault();
string s =i.Element("description").Value!=null? (string)i.Element("description").Value:String.Empty;
string t = (string)i.Element("title").Value;
string l = (string)i.Element("link").Value;
string p = (string)i.Element("pubDate").Value;
var results = (from itm in items
select new RssItem()
{
title = (string)itm.Element("title").Value,
description = (string)itm.Element("description").Value,
link = (string)itm.Element("link").Value,
pubDate = (string)itm.Element("pubDate").Value
}).ToList();
this.rssGrid.ItemsSource = results;

NOTE: The above assumes you are using the WebClient.DownloadStringAsync method. This is the code you would use inside the callback.
