Hands-On Labs
Integrating SharePoint and Windows Phone 7 using Web Services
Windows Phone 7 applications can use SharePoint Web services to view and edit SharePoint data. Visual Studio 2010 provides a rich development environment for creating, deploying, and integrating SharePoint list data with Windows Phone 7 applications. In this lab you will learn how to use a SharePoint Web service to display list data in a Windows Phone 7 application. You will also learn how to use a SharePoint Web service to add list data to an existing list.
Integrating SharePoint and Windows Phone 7 using Rest APIs
Windows Phone 7 applications can use SharePoint .Net Data Services or REST-based APIs to view and edit SharePoint data. Visual Studio 2010 provides a rich development environment for creating, deploying, and integrating SharePoint list data with Windows Phone 7 applications.
Integrating SharePoint and Windows Phone 7 using Syndication Feeds
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.
Integrating SharePoint Social Web Services and Windows Phone 7
Windows Phone 7 applications can use SharePoint Web services to work with social data. The SharePoint social and search web services allows developers create Windows Phone 7 applications that can find users and profile information and other social data including news feeds and comments. Creating social applications or integrating social data into a Windows Phone application can help users stay connected and informed.
