Hi Pablo,

recently i got a chance to watch your PDC video and Mix video on ADO.net Dataservice....awesome stuff :)

I am very new to this technology but find it very interesting; thanks to your videos and lots of sample application available.

there are just 2 things that are giving me a hard time:

1. how actually this thing works...i mean how the querystring from URL converted in LINQ Expression??

and

2.Can we place 2 interceptor on a single object collection??

I mean can i have

[Queryinetrceptor("Products")]

{

a lambda on product here!!

}

[Queryinetrceptor("Products")]

{

another lambda here!!!!

}

i would really appreciate if you could help me understand this or guide me and show me the way....!!!

Thanks,

Akhilesh Bhale

Hi Pablo,

I sent an email using the "contact" part of the blog regarding the tool a while back but haven't heard back from you.

It would be awesome if you can share the tool. Here's my email id: vsubra@affymetrix.com.

Hope you are having a great talk once again at the PDC.

Thanks,

Vimal

@Mark, you're probably not seeing it because you are using an earlier build of SharePoint 2010 that is not compatible with the CTP2 release of Data Services. Once the SharePoint 2010 public beta is available you should be able to install Data Services CTP2 and get things going. To answer your question, yes, all SharePoint 2010 servers will have the REST interface once you install Data Services on them.

@Vimal, thanks! If you email me directly (you can just use the "contact" part of this blog) I'll send you the file. It's really nothing fancy...just a quick HTML page.

Hi Pablo,

I was present in your talk on RESTful Data Services Interface at the SharePoint 2009 conference. Great session!

I was wondering if you could post the tool you created to demonstrate the HTTP content type representations for ATOM and JSON.

Thanks,

Vimal

Hi, I tried it with SharePoint 2010 TAP and http://host:port/_vti_bin/listdata.svc does not return anything. I read in your blog that ADO.NET Data Services has to be installed on the SharePoint server. Also, there is a note on ADO.NET Team Blog that ADO.NET has to be installed on the server prior to the SharePoint installation in order REST services work.

It raises the question - whether this REST interface will be available for each SharePoint 2010 installation in SP 2010release? Will it be available in SP2010 beta? If not then we cannot rely on the fact that REST service will be available for any particular SharePoint instance since people who installed it may decide that they do not need these services or they may simply forgot to install it prior to SP installation.

Thank you,

Mark
