ADO.NET Data Services (formerly known as ‘Astoria’) is a widely anticipated set of components and classes that improve the ability of applications to gain access to data over networks and internet protocols. This book introduces ADO.NET Data Services and explores how to architect and implement solutions that use this technology. As more applications and platforms operate in distributed environments and over the internet, it is essential that developers understand how to work with ADO.NET Data Services. Readers will be exposed to numerous examples of incorporating and using the technology with existing platforms and applications, including web sites, financial systems, integration platforms, document management portals, and custom windows applications.
