SharePoint ADO.NET Provider

The CData ADO.NET Provider for SharePoint offers the most natural way to access Sharepoint data from any .NET application. Simply use SharePoint Data Provider objects to connect and access data just as you would access any traditional database. You will be able to use the SharePoint Data Provider through Visual Studio Server Explorer, in code through familiar classes, and in data controls like DataGridView, GridView, DataSet, etc.

Using the SharePoint Data Provider

The SharePoint Data Provider wraps the complexity of accessing Sharepoint services in an easy-to-integrate, fully-managed ADO.NET Data Provider. Applications then access Sharepoint through the SharePoint Data Provider with simple Transact-SQL.

 

The CData ADO.NET Provider for SharePoint hides the complexity of accessing data and provides additional powerful security features, smart caching, batching, socket management, and more.

Working with DataAdapters, DataSets, DataTables, etc.

The SharePoint Data Provider has the same ADO.NET architecture as the native .NET data providers for SQL Server and OLEDB including: SharepointConnection, SharepointCommand, SharepointDataAdapter, SharepointDataReader, SharepointDataSource, SharepointParameter, and SharepointTransaction. Because of this you can now access Sharepoint data in an easy, familiar way.

More Than Read-Only: Full Update/CRUD Support

SharePoint Data Provider goes beyond read-only functionality to deliver full support for Create, Read Update, and Delete operations (CRUD). Your end-users can interact with the data presented by the SharePoint Data Provider as easily as interacting with a database table.
