The other day a good friend of mine asked me if it was possible to send appointments created in Outlook into a SharePoint calendar list. It’s easy enough to grab this data from Outlook by building an add-in with Visual Studio, but what also turned out to be really easy was sending this information to SharePoint using its built-in WCF data services, also known as OData. OData is an open REST-ful protocol for exposing and consuming data on the web. I’ve written before about how we could consume these SharePoint 2010 data services and do some analysis in Excel. Today I’d like to show you how easy it is to update data through these services as well.
