Client Application Connection Code Sample Download Available

Question

The Microsoft Office Live team is creating code samples to show how you can use web services to extend the functionality of Office Live business applications. The Client Application Connection sample provides code that uses the Windows Live ID Client SDK and the Office Live Discovery Web service to authenticate and talk to business applications running on the Office Live servers. 

To download the Client Application Connection code sample, go to Microsoft Office Live Code Sample: Client Application Connection.

To read more about the Client Application Connection code sample, watch the Office Live Blog and check out the next update of the Microsoft Office Live Developer Guide (due early April 2007).

Hey folks, quick note... the Windows Live ID Client SDK has now gone from "Alpha refresh" to "final".  If you were waiting for them to remove the Alpha tag before trying to use it, now is the time. 

 

You can get the bits here.

 

Also of interest, you can try out the new Web Authentication SDK, which would allow you to have a 3rd party web site/service on your own servers and use Live ID as the authentication system.  Pretty cool stuff.
