"Visual C#: Working with WCF Data Services" by Jaliya Udagedara

Description: WCF Data Services (formerly known as ADO.NET Data Services and codename is “Astoria”) is a platform for what Microsoft calls Data Services.

This is a component of the .NET Framework that enables you to create services that use the OData (Open Data Protocol) to expose and consume data over the web or intranet by using the semantics of Representational State Transfer (REST).

In this session let’s see how we can implement WCF Data Services with Entity Framework Provider and Reflection Provider in action. I have contributed to TechNet wiki in related to WCF Data Services by writing couple of articles about WCF Data Services.
