Topic Description |
Business Connectivity Services (BCS) is the SharePoint 2010 name for the
Business Data Catalog (BDC). With SharePoint 2007, the BDC introduced
functionality to surface content extracted from corporate database systems. Ben
will guide us through the new features of the BCS. BCS with SharePoint 2010
builds upon this functionality and introduces three new things – the concept of
External Content Types, development capabilities in SharePoint Designer and
Visual Studio, and the ability to not only read but also write back to
databases.
