Custom Data Service Providers

Introduction

Data Services sits above a Data Service Provider, which is responsible for interacting with the underlying Data Source on behalf of the Data Service.

Data Services ships with some internal providers, and makes it possible for you to create custom providers too.

So the obvious question is...
Do you need a Custom Data Provider?

Creating a Custom Data Service Provider is a fair amount of work, which of course provides big dividends like, allowing people to:

   * Query and manipulate your data via the Data Services Client in:
         o WPF
         o WinForms
         o SilverLight
         o etc
   * Query you data directly via a browser
   * Query and manipulate your data via Javascript and associated frameworks like JQuery
   * Query your data via knowledge worker tools like PowerPivot.
   * etc.etc.etc.
