Mike Flasko (ADO.NET Data Services, Program Manager) at Microsoft Corp. wrote an extensive article about recently released ADO.NET Data Services called Using Microsoft ADO.NET Data Services. It is full of examples and it is exactly the type of articles developers prefer to read :) - although slightly long.
The examples included are:
- Example 1: Basic data service in C#
- Example 2: ADO.NET Data Service exposing an in-memory data source
- Example 3: Response for the root of a data service
- Example 4: Listing of the contents of an entity set, in Atom/APP format
- Example 5: Response for a single-entity URL
- Example 6: A single-entity response from the data service
- Example 7: A response that contains multiple entities
- Example 8: Response with nested related entities using the "expand" option
- Example 9: Atom service document as returned from an ADO.NET Data Service
- Example 10: JSON response from a data service for a single 'Customer' entity
- Example 11: A hierarchical result containing a Customer and its related Sales Orders, in JSON format
- Example 12: Payloads for creating a new Category entity using Atom and JSON
- Example 13: Response from the data service after processing a POST request for creating a Category, in Atom and JSON formats
- Example 14: Payload used to modify an existing Category entity through an HTTP PUT request, Atom and JSON formats
- Example 15: Payload used to modify an existing Category entity through an HTTP PUT request, Atom and JSON formats
- Example 16: Payload to create a new Territory entity that includes an association to a Region entity
- Example 17: Payload to update a Territory so it is associated with a different Region entity
- Example 18: Keys-only payload format used for inserting an association
- Example 19: Inserting a graph of data in a single request
- Example 20: Request and Response using CategoryName as a concurrency token
- Example 21: Request to update the name of a Category
- Example 22: A data service operation to retrieve filtered customers
- Example 23: Setting Visibility of Service Operations
- Example 24: Access an Astoria data service from a .NET application using the client library
- Example 25: Retrieving all customers in the city of London, ordered by company name
- Example 26: Delay-loading related entities using the Load() method
- Example 27: Using "expand" to eagerly-load related entities
- Example 28: Inserting a new entity instance using the client library
- Example 29: Updating an existing entity using the client library
- Example 30: Creating a product entity and associate it with a Category
- Example 31: Sending queries as a batch request
- Example 32: Using the asynchronous API in the client library
- Example 33: Setting service-wide access policy
- Example 34: Query interceptor method implementing a custom, per request access policy
- Example 35: Update interceptor method that validates input Category entities before being persisted in the underlying store
- Example 36: Assume a validation error occurred while processing a request which caused an ArgumentException to be thrown invoking the exception handler shown in the ‘service code’ section.
Pretty long list, isn't it?!
