Setup<\/H3>\n
The SharePoint 2010 beta will become generally available in November<\/A>. <\/P>\n In order to use Data Services with SharePoint 2010 Beta, ADO.NET Data Services 1.5 must be installed on your server, ideally *before* you install SharePoint 2010. And then to program against a Data Services enabled SharePoint box you need either:<\/P>\n Assuming you\u2019ve got everything setup and working the first thing you need to know is where your Data Service endpoint is installed.<\/P>\n If your SharePoint site is http:\/\/mflasko-dev\/<\/B> (thanks Mike) then your Data Services endpoint will be http:\/\/mflasko-dev\/_vti_bin\/listdata.svc<\/B>.<\/P>\n If you open one of these endpoints up in Internet Explorer you\u2019ll see something like this:<\/P>\n As you can see this is a standard Data Services Atom feed, listing all the Lists on the SharePoint site.<\/P>\n Cool.<\/P>\n Once you know where your Data Service is located, the next step is to write your Data Services Client application.<\/P>\n But first to demonstrate how easy this is, I\u2019ve used SharePoint to create the simplest of all Suggestion Tracking applications. <\/P>\n You can follow along by following these simple steps:<\/P>\n The resulting list looks something like this:<\/P>\n The idea is that this list will capture all the suggestions users have for making a departmental line of business (LOB) application better. <\/P>\n But rather than making people go to the SharePoint site to make the suggestion, we want to allow the users to do it right in the LOB application.<\/P>\n The first step as always to add a service reference, using the location of the Data Service that exposes SharePoint data (i.e. http:\/\/mflasko-dev\/_vti_bin\/listdata.svc<\/B>)<\/P>\n Once you\u2019ve done this you will have CLR classes representing the types in each list, and you will have a strongly typed DataServiceContext called TeamSiteDataContext that allows you to access the data:<\/P>\n
If however SharePoint 2010 is already on your box when you install Data Services, you will need an iisreset<\/A> to make the Data Service Endpoint show-up.
