Hi Francisco You just confirmed why I decided to stay off iOS (and Android for that matter); too little time for such stuff. I just went to a meeting today at Microsoft for an intro to Windows 8 Metro apps running on the new WinRT and learned that you just as well can get used to async communication for any serious task. The good news is that it is extremely easy to set up with the new API - just a few lines of code. We didn't reach oData. I would be interested in following this, though some have had some bad experiences: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/programming-and-development/my-first-windows-8-application/5273 but I guess it is just a question of using it "right". /gustav >>> fhtapia at gmail.com 02-05-2012 17:24 >>> Shamil, Have you done any work on with oData? sounds like the Microsoft Irland's answer to a webservice protocol... j/k everyone :) In my day to day I've moved away from developing exclusively on microsoft products and into developing in SAP and now ObjectiveC (iPad apps). I had just crossed a horrible bridge and learning curve to figure out calling soap objects from iOS, a process where Apple can learn a thing or three from MS and their IDE. In C# I can consume a wsdl and begin using it almost right away after the wizard is complete. in ObjectiveC I need a third party product that will help me consume the WSDL and then create classes from it, so I can begin using it, the problem is everyone's class generator is different and there are vastly different approaches including a hand coded effort in pure xcode tools which while it's a good IDE, I think I'm just too familiar with MS. anyhow, this post was supposed to be more about oData, as the latest papers from SAP recommend using this protocol for interfacing between SAP and Third party products (MS applications, iOS, Android etc etc etc) is anyone else here interested in this type of discussion or familiar with it beyond the original post? Hope to hear back from someone! :) -Francisco http://bit.ly/sqlthis | Tsql and More... <http://db.tt/JeXURAx> On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 1:58 AM, Shamil Salakhetdinov < shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru> wrote: > > Hi All, > > I have just recently got the following site URL - is it well known > there/was > mentioned already here?: > > Open Data Protocol FAQ > http://www.odata.org/faq > > > Thank you. > > -- > Shamil
