Authoring Step 6: Define the Region External ContentType

Applies to: SharePoint Server 2010

In this step, you will define an external content type named Region. The Region external content type is very straightforward with just CRUDQ methods.

Prerequisites

Authoring Step 5: Define the Customer External ContentType

To define the Region entity

  • Add the XML for the Region external content type after the Customer entity element. This XML defines the entity’s title, identifier, and a method to return regions.

            <Entity Namespace="SampleWebService" Version="1.1.0.0" EstimatedInstanceCount="10000" Name="WSRegion" DefaultDisplayName="WSRegion">
              <Identifiers>
                <Identifier TypeName="System.String" Name="RegionID" />
              </Identifiers>
              <Methods>
                <Method IsStatic="false" Name="GetRegionByID">
