Prerequisites

• Ensure a Shared Service Provider is already created.

• Create an LobSystem and set connection parameters as shown in How to: Create an LOBSystem Using the Administration Object Model.

• Create the ProductModel entity as shown in How to: Create an Entity Using the Administration Object Model

• Create a Finder method as shown in How to: Create a Method and Filters Using the Administration Object Model

• Replace the constant value EnterYourSSPNameHere in the code with the name of your Shared Resource Provider.

• Project References

Add the following Project References in your console application code project before running this sample:

• Microsoft.SharePoint

• Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal

• Microsoft.Office.Server
