One of the scenarios we have heard feedback around is the ability for the a client of a data service to determine the total number of entities in a set without having to retrieve them all. The following video discusses this scenario in more detail and some of our thoughts regarding how to make the experience better. Astoria Design ...
Are you going to TechEd EMEA this coming week? If so, we've got the following data services focused sessions at the conference: We hope to see you there! Mike Flasko ADO.NET Data Services, Program Manager
As we already discussed in a previous blog post, one of the problem spaces related to data services we’d like to take on is synchronization-capable services, enabling offline scenarios. We’re still in the early stages of the project, where direction can be adjusted and good feedback can be very influential. Giving good feedback without...

We mentioned that we were doing some early thinking of “Astoria Offline” back in Mix 2008, where we even demo’ed an early proof of concept. Now we’ve been working on various design aspects of Data Services for its future versions, and synchronization/offline support is one of them. It’s still an experimental thing with...
Another nice Silverlight sample was posted today by Valeri. You can play with the app online here and a description of how it is built along with source is here. -Mike Flasko ADO.NET Data Services, Program Manager
Check out this interesting sample I came across today which loads data from an ADO.NET Data Service into a Telerik tree view control on demand: https://blogs.telerik.com/ValeriHristov/Posts/08-10-08/Silverlight_TreeView_Load_on_Demand.aspx -Mike Flasko ADO.NET Data Services Program Manager
The goal of Astoria in V1 is to easily expose a data source using the REST approach to the web (with support for concurrency, versioning, auth, etc). In general, the way we think about serialization formats (ie. how we represent entites on the wire) is that they are a tool and an application will select the best tool (ie. serialization format...
A refresh of our "Overview of ADO.NET Data Services" white paper is now up on MSDN here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc956153.aspx . The document is meant to cover the high-level concepts for the product. A companion paper "Using ADO.NET Data Services" published a little while ago complements this overview with details on p...
