Check out parts one , two and three if you haven't - good stuff there! In today's post, we're going to import data into Microsoft Access. I'm going to focus on having the building blocks in place, although in real-life use, you would either make this

This is part three of a series - you should read part I and part II to have the code snippets handy and follow along. Today we won't be doing anything special with OData itself, instead we'll see how the snippets work across different Microsoft Office

In case the title didn't give the fact away, this is the second part of a series - the first part is here . This post builds on the code from that post, so make sure you've gone over that before continuing. Last time, we simply got an XML document in

This post is the first of a series describing how you can leverage OData information in your Microsoft Office documents and applications using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). If you're using the newer programming APIs based on the .NET Framework,

Yesterday the availability announcement went up on the team blog, so why wait? Get yourself some updated bits and start data binding, blob'ing, paging, projecting, and counting entities, all from within the comfort of your programming chair! If you haven't

If the error HTTP 403.9 may comes up when making multiple requests to an ADO.NET Data Service, the first thing to check is the operating system the server is running on. Windows XP and other client operating systems have a limit on the number of simultaneous

Fabian Winternitz is one of our awesome tools developers, and you can see some of his work in this post . That's a Visual Studio extension that will display searchable diagrams for the model exposed by any service endpoint that exposes OData metadata.

Over at the team blog, you can find this post about ADO.NET Data Services changing its name to WCF Data Services in the .NET Framework 4 time frame. This is goodness by every account - over time, this just means a more integrated experience when developing
