<blockquote> Note: WCF Web API is now ASP.NET Web API and has changed a lot. The beta version is now available. For more information: <a href="http://www.tugberkugurlu.com/archive/getting-started-with-asp-net-web-api-tutorials-videos-samples" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Getting Started With ASP.NET Web API - Tutorials, Videos, Samples</a> </blockquote> I would go with WCF Web Api to do that. ASP.NET MVC is also nice and capable of exposing your data but WCF Web Api is more capable if you consider exposing your data to your users. It is easy to use and integrate REST Web APIs to your system. For the authentication, API Key is always the best way for this type of scenario. Here is a good example on how you can implement API Auth with WCF Web API : <a href="http://weblogs.asp.net/cibrax/archive/2011/04/15/http-message-channels-in-wcf-web-apis-preview-4.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://weblogs.asp.net/cibrax/archive/2011/04/15/http-message-channels-in-wcf-web-apis-preview-4.aspx</a> <blockquote> Note: They just released the preview version 5 couple of weeks ago and Message Channels has been changed to Message Handlers as far as I know. But the above article should give you an idea. </blockquote> For security implementations, the below might help as well : <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6798892/wcf-authentication-token-implementation-how-to-do">wcf Authentication Token Implementation - How to do</a>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
