The
Client Object Model (OM) is a new programming interface for SharePoint
2010 where code runs on a user’s client machine against a local object
model and interacts with data on the SharePoint Server. Client OM
methods can be called from JavaScript, .NET code or Silverlight code and
makes building rich client applications for SharePoint easy. One API to
rule them all – Yep, whether its WPF or Windows Forms or Silverlight or
Javascript – your code uses Client Object Model to interact with
the SharePoint site to access the data. Now, there is something common
that everybody can use instead of creating their own wrapper services to
access SharePoint data!
DLL used.
1. Microsoft.SharePoint.Client
2. Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime

Create
new window application and include give the ref. to above mentioned
file. The following code I explain the different-2 ways to fetching the
data using SharePoint2010 Client model.
To
fetching the data using Client object model we have to create the
client context using the ClientContext(@"http://home:8082");.
ClientContext(@"http://home:8082") takes the URL of the site as
constructor.
The bettor approach fetch the data you needs.
