Integrating SharePoint and Windows Phone 7 using Syndication FeedsVersion: 1.0.0 DescriptionWindows 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.

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. ObjectivesIn 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.
