Description
Windows Phone 7 applications can use SharePoint RSS list feeds to retrieve list data. Syndication feeds may be the only option available to anonymously access SharePoint list data from a Windows Phone 7 application without a gateway server to proxy the request. SharePoint 2010 provides an RSS feed for each list in SharePoint. RSS feeds in SharePoint support anonymous access. Depending on the farm configuration, a syndication feed might be the only way to retrieve list data asynchronously.

Objectives
In this hands-on lab, you will learn how to create a custom list feed application. The out of the box RSS feed SharePoint provides for each list can be difficult to parse. A custom list feed application can be created that supports anonymous access and can be extended to create a feed that is easily parsed when list fields are added to the feed. In this hands-on lab you will create a custom list feed application to anonymously syndicate list data. You will also create a Windows Phone 7 application to consume the syndicated list data.
- Learn how to allow anoymous access to a SharePoint list
- Learn how to create a custom SharePoint application to expose an ATOM feed for a SharePoint list
- Learn how to consume list data from a SharePoint list in a Windows Phone 7 application
