I want to use RestFull web Services in DNN application

The idea behind this is that in order to create a mobile app that does something with DNN you likely need to expose some data, and why not do it in a very quick and easy way, with RESTFul implementations and JSON data that works very well with javascript. For an example project you should check out the DNN Pulse application that Joe blogged about earlier.

The code is in C#, but is really simple, you should be able to get it into a VB project fairly easily. In this post I'm going to talk about the code and what is going on.

One word of warning, this project that you can download an install is not using any type of authentication right now, you can add it to a site, and it someone calls svc/users they will get a list of all your users, it is just provided for sample purposes right now.http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Blogs/EntryId/2757/Simple-RESTful-JSON-web-services-with-DotNetNuke.aspx
