I was trying to develop sample application accessing SharePoint lists using ADO.NET Data Services.
BUT NOTHING WORKED :s
When I try to access listdata.svc from the browser i got this exception
“Could not load type ‘System.Data.Services.Providers.IDataServiceUpdateProvider’ from assembly System.Data.Services”
And when i try to reference the same service from Visual studio 2010 in a Windows application i got 401 unauthorized and 400 bad request.
After a lot of research you need to make sure that ADO.NET Data Services CTP v1.5 CTP installed, also if your operating system is Windows Server 2008 R2 make sure to install this fix
ADO.NET Data Services Update for .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2
Everything will work after that, you can access your site
Try to access the list data service
/_vti_bin/ListData.svc">/_vti_bin/ListData.svc">http://<servername>/_vti_bin/ListData.svc
You will xml with existing lists in you site
You can also access the list data through appending the list name to the service url
http://<servername>/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/Calendar

Finally it is there, Microsoft has announced that the official date for Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and Office 2010 is May 12th 2010. Also Microsoft intent to Release to Manufacture them at April 2010.
It has been a long trip since MOSS 2007 released and everybody started to envision how SharePoint 2010 will look. Microsoft Products team had listened to a lot of our comments as MVPs and to the community feedback and here it is very powerful platform for the business collaboration.
I remember when I first started working with SharePoint, it was SharePoint 2003 OHHHH! It is long trip but i really enjoyed it.
Happy SharePoint release

In Part 1 of this series we have explored PowerShell basics and how to use it with SharePoint 2010.
Now let’s discover how to write PowerShell script to access SharePoint objects and perform some operations
Create Site collection
The following PowerShell script will Create 10 Site collections under sites managed path from the team site template
We used New-SPSite cmdlet inside for loop and passed as parameters the site URL, Site owner, template id and site language
cmdlets used: New-SPSite
Add items to Announcements list
our second script is to add items to announcements list which can be helpful if you want to add a lot of items in a list for demo or development or testing purposes
In this script we retrieved the web object then through object properties we retrieved the list by its title and through for loop we added new item in each loop.
cmdlets used: Get-SPSite, Get-SPWeb
