I am adding a ADO.Net Data Service lookup feature to an existing web page. Everything works great when running from visual studio, but when I roll it out to IIS, I get the following error: Request Error The server encountered an error processing the request. See server logs for more details. I get this even when trying to display the default page, i.e.: http://server/FFLookup.svc I have 3.5 SP1 installed on the server. What am I missing, and which "Server Logs" is it refering to? I can't find any further error messages. There is nothing in the Event Viewer logs (System or Application), and

I am designing a distributed application that will consist of RESTful services and a variety of clients (Silverlight, iOS, Windows Phone 7, etc). Right now I'm determining which technology I should use to implement my services, WCF Data Services (OData) or the new ASP.NET Web API that's coming out with ASP.NET MVC 4. I've watched a few presentations online about each and right now I'm leaning towards WCF Data Services primarily because of the filtering mechanisms built into the URI and native hypermedia capability. The only downside I can see is the verbosity of the Atom Pub specification as

My question is about how you handle paging with a WCF data service. The way I want to use it, is execute a query (passing page size and current page), and get back the results of that query and also the paging information like total number of pages, current page number and page size. This paging information is used by the client (which is another service that transforms the result to JSON for a mobile application that consumes it) to handle next/previous buttons. However, using LINQ on a WCF data service is too limited, it doesn't support the LINQ expression I need. I tried creating a service

I am having a bit of a problem with this fantastic jqgrid plugin and my attempt to use it with WCF Data Services (not really, but the very similar odata4j services). By the way, if anyone is thinking about using jqgrid with odata services, please send me a line, I found answers to difficult questions like, for example, how to configure the grid xmlreader to read an odata xml structure defeating the jquery namespace search issue ( hints: include jquery.xmlns.js ..... $.xmlns.m = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata"; $.xmlns.d = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007

I have an entity defined in an EF 4.0 that is based on a view. The view lays over a table with about 18 million rows of data. I have selected the 4 deterministic properties of the entity as a compound Entity key for this entity. I have exposed access to the model containing this view via an OData WCF data service. The WCF Data service is set to limit results like so config.SetEntitySetPageSize("*", 100) When I make a basic query against this view: var fcbs = this.iBenchmarkCostContext.FtCostBenchmarks.ToArray(); This is the query that I see in my profiling tool: SELECT TOP (100) [Extent1].
