I am using VS 2010 - and writing a C#, ASP.NET web app. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I have been trying linq to sharepoint and everything else just trying to read data from an SP 2010 list but I am unable to access it probably because it requires credentials and I don't see a way to add that. &nbsp;I have tried a number of methods. &nbsp;I tried to create an ADO.NET &nbsp;service from the SVC file but get some error when it tries to generate it.<br />
<br />
Is it possible to use linq to Sharepoint from an ASP.NET web application that is running on another server if I know the credentials? &nbsp;I hate CML and BCS seems a bit heavy unless there is some utiltiy that can make it easier it use. &nbsp;Is there a simple way to make it happen (bear in mind that I am NOT running a DLL inside sharepoint so I don't have the context etc... so those type solutions won't work.)<br />

Thanks for any pointers<br />

I see that my SP 2010 has the web services listdata.asmx and there is an SVC file but it fails with an error when I try ot generate

These capabilities include developing web sites, portals, intranets, content management systems, search engines, wikis, blogs, and other tools for business intelligence and collaboration. SharePoint has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and it is closely integrated with the Office suite.
