Microsoft Azure Mobile Client API explorer contains both server and client

RobDesideri opened this issue · 2 comments

This section should only explore Client API.

Instead, at the moment, the section mixes Server and Client APIs, making it very difficult to find the client references (also because these are linked to the old MobileService namespace, so there is no trace of the Client word).

A properly Client section should contains the Microsoft.Azure.Mobile.Client package namespaces, i.e.

  • Microsoft.WindowsAzure.MobileServices
  • Microsoft.WindowsAzure.MobileServices.Eventing
  • Microsoft.WindowsAzure.MobileServices.Query
  • Microsoft.WindowsAzure.MobileServices.Sync
  • Microsoft.WindowsAzure.MobileServices.Threading

(Nuget reference).

Instead Server section should contains all related Servers namespace.

Yeah, that's confusing. I'm not sure how that happened, but we'll sort it out.

Actually, I just realized what happened. It's called the "client API" on this page because it's an Azure service client API (we call them data-plane APIs), as opposed to a management API. So it's consistent with all our other service landing pages, even if the combination of a client for a server service is confusing.
