Microsoft® Codename "Dallas" Feature Voting

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

    Stock Market data - very surprised it's not already here.

      Thanks for the suggestion. I agree, historical data (Scott’s comment) could be interesting.

      Anyone else have any thoughts on stock market data?

      Thanks!

    • Duplicate data from newspaper websites

      Some newspapers (eg http://www.guardian.co.uk/data-store) make a lot of interesting data available online - why not do a deal to duplicate this in Dallas? It would add loads of great, free content and do so in a way that's much more useful than a csv file or a Google spreadsheet...

        Hi Chris,

        Have you seen our current news feed from the Associated Press? If not, you can find an overview here: http://www.pinpoint.microsoft.com/en-US/PartnerDetails.aspx?PartnerId=12884901889&ProductId=12884902241&CurrentTab=1.

        You can explore the dataset by clicking the big orange “Trial” button on the right side of the page. This will take you to the Dallas Account and Subscription Management portal, where you’ll be asked to accept AP’s End User License Agreement. Once you do, you’ll be subscribed to the dataset and able to explore what it offers.

        If you don’t already have a Dallas account, you’ll need a Live ID and a Dallas invitation code to create one. If you don’t already have a Dallas invitation code, you can request one at dinvite@microsoft.com.

        Back to your suggestion… Is this what you had in mind?

        Thanks!

      • Add metadata to the services

        I'm building a universal data browser. It can display relational data, WCF Data Services data, Amazon data, Flickr data, and much more.
        The OData format is great because it allows us to get all sorts of data in a unique format. I use it to display data coming from any WCF Data Service, from the Open Government Data Initiative (OGDI), but unfortunately, I can't use it for Dallas data. This is because my tool uses the metadata exposed by the services, but it seems that Dallas does not expose metadata.

        I haven't found how to get something like $metadata with…

          Hi Fabrice,

          thanks for this feedback. There is nothing like that right now. We are investigating how to expose the metadata for our services.

        • would like to be able to use Dallas items in SQL Server.

          Build a connection from SQL Server to get data in Dallas.
