The

External Content Type Adapter block enables the output of a mashup to work with a SharePoint external content type so that mashup results can be dynamically included in SharePoint sites as external content lists. This integrates mashup results in SharePoint sites supporting deep integration in many SharePoint features and services.

Mashups that use the

External Content Type Adapter pull in results from other mashables or mashups, filter or transform these results if needed and then use the adapter block to enable external content type connections. This integration requires:

Support for the two SharePoint operations required for external content types. See Supported SharePoint Operations for details.

Results that meet the Data Requirements for the Results of ECT-Enabled Mashups.

And specific limitations on the Updates to the Mashup’s Results.

The

External Content Type Adapter block is not necessarily required to allow SharePoint to connect to mashups as external content types, but it does simplify the integration in most cases.
