What I'd really like is the ability to provide different shaped bits of xml that represent whats in my db using filters, expand etc. What I don't really like is the 'goop' in atom, I know that json is a bit lighter but what I'd really like to do is whack in my own seria...

How do I wire up a WebForm to a ADO.NET Services "resource"?
I know I could use WebClient or WebRequest, but somehow this feels like using WebClient or WebRequest to do a postback or a crosspage postback. What do I need to do to get a WebForm to "post" to a ADO.NET service, which is expecting a different verb and has a different URL? I googled this but couldn't find anything to enlighten me. ...
