You are creating an application for SharePoint Server 2010.
The application will run on a remote computer.
You need to identify a data access method to query lists in the application.
Strongly-typed access to columns must be provided from within Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
Which method should you use?
A. client object model
B. LINQ to SharePoint
C. Representational State Transfer (REST)
D. server object model
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
MNEMONIC RULE: "remote + strongly-typed = Client Object Model"
REST is not strongly-typed, LINQ and server object model are not for remote communications.
The new client object models provide an object-oriented system for interoperating with SharePoint data from a remote computer, and they are in many respects easier to use than the already existing SharePoint Foundation Web services.
What’s New: Client Object Model
