.NET 
Roy (A colleague) sparked me with some new inspiration to try something new. He wrote an article on ADO.NET data service which made me excited to try this one out. I didn’t think much of it first, but I’m eager to try it out and see how it holds up with a more elaborate application.
The first experience with this new framework however was a bit dissapointing. After creating a new ADO.NET entity model and configuring the data service I got completely nothing in the browser. I configured the access rules correctly, double-checked the configuration but no success.
As it turns out, having an old CTP for ASP.NET 3.5 futures was preventing me from creating a data service with the correct .NET assemblies, thus using faulty code. The CTP I had has a bug the prevents the service from showing the entities correctly in the feed.
The problem can be solved by uninstalling the old CTP bits and repairing the .NET 3.5 Beta 1 installation. The last part is optional, but I can recommend it, because mine was really broken down after uninstalling the CTP bits.
