The DataServiceContext represents the runtime context of an ADO.NET data service. ADO.NET Data Services are stateless, but the DataServiceContext is not. State on the client is maintained between interactions in order to support features such as update management. This class, and the DataServiceQuery class that represents a particular HTTP request to a data service, are the two main classes in the client library.
