Answer 1

to convert PublishDate in RSS to your computer datetime you could write this lines

  string dateStr = item.PublishDate.ToString("ffffd MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzzz yyyy");
                    DateTime PostDate = DateTime.ParseExact(dateStr, "ffffd MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzzz yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
