How do I create a .net App to send Attachments to the web client?

[RyanFarley]

Can Eloy elaborate on what he is trying to accomplish?

Is it possible to post attachment files with SData? 

[jperona]

Currently, you cannot upload files via SData however, keep an eye out here as we have work happening now in this area and will share when available.

Any update to this functionality?  Can attachments be uploaded via SData yet?

Thank you,

Justin

As of what has been released - AFAIK - no.

Remember, the current SData (portal/server) on 7.5.2 is not really SData "1.0" yet. We will have to wait for a HotFix or a ServicePack.. or whatever.

Thanks for the update RJ.

[RJLedger]

You're welcome!

There are a bunch of us that are waiting on a bunch of fixed to "SData" ( and the portal).

My  pet peeve is the fact that the security (model) is "broken" when it comes to SECCODEID. If you have any SECCODEID(s) that are "private" then SData just "falls over" and you have no way of programming around it. One way to see this easily is to look at a "private" record (Account/Contact, etc) in the web and the owner column shows "UNKNOWN". This is because it's only looking at the SECCODE table and never looks at UserID's ;-) 

Found and reported this bug on the day after the first SData Master's series classes months ago.

Is it possible to upload attachments via sdata on 7.5.3, or still not quite there?

[RJLedger]

Have NO idea.. since there's been NO documentation made available that would indicate so. My "gut" tells me that there's still a bunch of issues w/SData.
