ASP.NET AJAX Client Library for ADO.NET Data Services Overview

Introduction

The ASP.NET AJAX Client Library for ADO.NET Data Services lets you access data from an ADO.NET Data Service by using client script.

ADO.NET Data Services

The ADO.NET Data Services framework lets you create and access data services on the Web. The services use well-known formats to represent the data, such as JSON and XML. Data is made available across the Web in the style of a representational state transfer (REST) resource collection that is addressable by using URIs. Clients can interact with the resources by using HTTP verbs such as GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE. The ADO.NET Data Services framework can expose any data source (database data, XML documents, Web services, and so on) as a REST service. Client applications, such as those using the ASP.NET AJAX Client Library for ADO.NET Data Services, can then access the exposed data.

AJAX Client Library for ADO.NET Data Services

The ASP.NET AJAX Client Library for ADO.NET Data Services provides the Sys.Data.DataService client-script class that simplifies interaction between an ASP.NET AJAX application and an ADO.NET Data Service. By using the Sys.Data.DataService class, you can create Web applications that interact with data through a data service on the Web site, and can then update the Web page without a full postback to the Web server.
