Last thursday I did a presentation at the Belgium Techdays in Antwerp. My session focussed on the Business Connectivity Service in SharePoint 2010. With the Business Connectivity Service you can integrate external data in the SharePoint and Office user experience. With the new powerfull .NET Assembly connector, you're now able to write code to do the read/write operations. I've promised the attendees to upload the demos I've showed at the event. So below you can find the Twitter BCS Model I've created and the Excel integration. If you are experiencing problems with the BCSSync.exe service which runs client side, make sure to install the correct version of Sql Server Compact x64:
