In general ASP.net, this can be caused by calling DataBind() more than once on a databound control. Also be aware that this is influenced by automatic databind being on too.

This only effects static feeds whereby the rss.xml file(s) are written to disk and linked-too directly. The processes is kicked-off my hooking into the publishing-end event. While the similar method [...]
