Nice article, it's gotten me quite far; although I'm getting an exception (System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceClientException) and it's claiming that it's "unauthorized". I've tried the following but all with the same result. dc.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials; dc.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; dc.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("domain/farmadmin", "password"); Any hints on how to get past this?

Hi Anand, Thats a good article, i was waiting for. I have three queries mainly around BCS being used primarily for External Data Sources. But as per your article we have Created ECT for SharePoint List. My Question is around, have another ECT for External Data Sources. And then trying to connect both the ECTs (ECT created out of SharePoint List above and ECT created for External Data Sources) using associations. Is it Possible. Like to know if this is a custom development or can be managed declaratively. My 2nd Question is around Performance around creating ECT for SharePoint List, when we can actually access data straight out of the box. I know that there are some scenarios where we use this approach for connecting two ECTs or is there any other reason for creating a ECT for sharepoint OOB list. Lastly, can i have a ECT for external sources only for READ operations and an ECT on SharePoint List for all CRUDQ operations. Happy to hear from good suggestions from you. Thanks Ram
