Hi Chris,

No I did not. I'm experimenting with OData, WCF, DataService and Knockout. I followed this to get my DS working: Deploying OData Services using IIS & SQL Server. I will try your template.

Thanks,

Jeff

Thanks Wes, 

I appreciate the information. I was following Steve Fabian's blog and using his template and had a directory working very well for our in-house intranet. I was using WCF along with jQuery, OData and KnockoutJS. It was working great! While trying to improve upon this I tried applying a multiview approach. It stopped working and I haven't been able to get it working since. Even restoring from previous versions hasn't helped. The data service call no longer works:http://localhost/DesktopModules/Emplo... I have tried working with the DNN web.config connection path, the edmx data mode and the data service code behind:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data.Services;
using System.Data.Services.Common;
using System.Linq;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Web;

namespace Employees.Service
{
    public class EmployeeDataService : DataService< Data.EmployeesContainer >
    {
        // This method is called only once to initialize service-wide policies.
        public static void InitializeService(DataServiceConfiguration config)
        {
            // TODO: set rules to indicate which entity sets and service operations are visible, updatable, etc.
            // Examples:
            // config.SetEntitySetAccessRule("MyEntityset", EntitySetRights.AllRead);
            // config.SetServiceOperationAccessRule("MyServiceOperation", ServiceOperationRights.All);
            config.DataServiceBehavior.MaxProtocolVersion = DataServiceProtocolVersion.V2;
        }
    }
}

Thanks,

Jeff
