SharePoint Lists Web Service

During a recent project I was leveraging the SharePoint Lists Web Service to retrieve information from a list and push it to a Silverlight display. The list I was using was a heavily customized list with about 35 different views and at least as may fields. My Silverlight display would provide information like the “status” of the list item based on a number of other criteria. This status field was stored as a simple “Single line of text” field in the SharePoint list.

A WCF "WHAT THE..."

I’ve been working with WCF and SharePoint 2007 and ran across an issue. The scenario is an Account Registration process which allows the user to request access to “protected” sites within a portal. This solution blends some jQuery and WCF using the JSON format for request and response messages. The issue I ran into was when a user requested access to a/several sites I needed to pass the Site ID to the WCF service as part of the user request object.
