Create and consume RESTful APIs in a simple and standard way
May 17, 2012May 17, 201205/17/12We recently posted about trying to release WCF Data Services more frequently, and some of the changes we’re making. In this post, we’ll take a slightly deeper look at NuGet,bin deploy, and where WCF Data Services is headed.
Managing dependencies with NuGet
If you’re already familiar with NuGet,
May 7, 2012May 7, 201205/7/12Like other teams at Microsoft, WCF Data Services has been working toward a goal of more frequent releases. We released 5.0 on April 9 and we pre-released WCF Data Services 5.0.1-rc* on April 20 (we’ll release the final version of 5.0.1 very soon).
April 20, 2012Apr 20, 201204/20/12Less than two weeks ago, we released WCF Data Services 5.0.0. Today, we are releasing 5.1.0-rc as a NuGet prerelease.
What is in the prerelease
This prerelease contains several bug fixes:
WCF Data Services fails to work properly with the $expand query option when using the DevArt Oracle EF provider
Some DateTime values do not round-trip properly in JSON verbose
Incorrect metadata version calculation on a V3 service with both service operations and actions
Getting the prerelease
The prerelease is only available on NuGet and must be installed using the prerelease cmdlet.
April 17, 2012Apr 17, 201204/17/12The WCF Data Services 5.0 RTM release includes an update to the Add Service Reference behavior in Visual Studio. For most project types that target .NET Framework 4.0, this means that when you add a new service reference, you will automatically get assembly references to the new client assemblies,
October 17, 2011Oct 17, 201110/17/11This CTP of WCF Data Services adds support for geospatial data. The release allows use of all of the OData geospatial data types and the geo.distance() canonical function. This enables two key scenarios:
Read and write geospatial data (all types supported by Sql Server 2008 R2).
May 17, 2011May 17, 201105/17/11In this third post in the series on implementing a streaming data provider, we show how to use the OData client library for Windows Phone 7 to asynchronously access binary data exposed by an Open Data Protocol (OData) feed. We also show how to asynchronously upload binary data to the data service.
January 21, 2011Jan 21, 201101/21/11This post creates a Windows Phone 7 client application for the OAuth 2.0 protected OData service we created in the last post.
Prerequisites:
To run this code you will need:
An AppFabric Access Control Services (ACS) instance & OData Service configured as described in the previous blog post.
January 20, 2011Jan 20, 201101/20/11In this post you will learn how to create an OData service that is protected using OAuth 2.0, which is the OData team’s official recommendation in these scenarios:
Delegation: In a delegation scenario a third party (generally an application) is granted access to a user’s resources without the user disclosing their credentials (username and password) to the third party.
September 8, 2010Sep 8, 201009/8/10In this second post in the series on implementing a streaming data provider, we show how to use the WCF Data Services client library to access binary data exposed by an Open Data Protocol (OData) feed, as well as has how to upload binary data to the data service.
August 4, 2010Aug 4, 201008/4/10The Open Data Protocol (OData) enables you to define data feeds that also make binary large object (BLOB) data, such as photos, videos, and documents, available to client applications that consume OData feeds. These BLOBs are not returned within the feed itself (for obvious serialization,
