Accessing SharePoint Online List Data using SharePoint Web Services

Version: 1.0

Description

SharePoint developers now have more ways to access SharePoint data than ever before. Client-side data access can be accomplished using the Client Object Model, REST interfaces and ASMX web services. Even with the new client-side data access techniques, SharePoint ASMX web services can still be considered a viable method of accessing SharePoint data. In the first half of this lab you will create a Silverlight application which will update an existing SharePoint list using the SharePoint Lists web service. In the second half of this lab, you will use a Visual Studio 2010 SharePoint project to deploy the Silverlight application to SharePoint Online.
