For documentation I've been using the "C++ HTML Help file reference document" available on FirstForge. This has been incredibly useful. If you haven't already, I highly encourage you to download it - http://firstforge.wpi.edu/sf/go/doc1198?nav=1

After you download, open this help file, select "Contents", "Class List" and then scroll down to the SmartDashboard class. Select this and then scroll down the documentation on the SmartDashboard to the list of "Public Member Functions". GetData() is the third function listed.

I just looked in the SmartDashboard.h file on my computer. It is what was provided when I reinstalled the development environment this year. Here is what it contains: "SmartDashboardData* GetData(const char *keyName);"
