Thank you for the information. With this new capabilities, is there a matrix that shows how the Web API support for OData compares to the WCF Data Services OData support? Is the recommendation now to favor WEB API for OData over WCF Data Services?

<ExceptionMessage>

Query option 'Format' is not allowed. To allow it, set the 'AllowedQueryOptions' property on QueryableAttribute or QueryValidationSettings.

</ExceptionMessage>

Can you give advice how to extend MediaTypeFormatter ? Thanks.

'System.Web.Http.HttpConfiguration' does not contain a definition for 'EnableQuerySupport' and no extension method 'EnableQuerySupport' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.Http.HttpConfiguration' could be found.

Is there somthing more I need to do?

If you installed 2012.2 Update and create a new Web API project, the OData package is automatically added to the project.

If you use another project template (like the "Basic" MVC template) or upgrade an existing project, you need to add the Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.OData NuGet package to your project.

The tutorial doesn't make this very clear ... I'll update the tutorial.

Great post :)

I'm trying to get $inlinecount=allpages to work but count is not added to the result.

Any special thing a need to setup?

Thanks :)

I don't get any of this information to be returned:

"odata.metadata":"http://localhost/$metadata#Products",

"odata.count":"50",

"value":[

I just get the content of value returned.

Is there something else we need to set up to get this other piece of information?

I was wondering whether is it possible to configure some of the output field names, specifically I'm after renaming "odata.count" to something without a dot ".", since it causes trouble to my JS odata client.

Thanks

Will it be supporting Async too?

I have enabled config.EnableQuerySupport();

I have added [Queryable] to the my get method -

[Queryable]

public IQueryable<string> Get()

Sorting and filtering are working fine, only inlinecount does not work. I have tried both json and xml as return types.

Is there something else I need to add? Let me know if you want me to send you my source code.

Thanks

I'll correct the docs.

// set defaults for query options

var queryAttribute = new QueryableAttribute

{

PageSize = DefaultPageSize,

AllowedQueryOptions = AllowedQueryOptions.All

};

config.EnableQuerySupport(queryAttribute);

You should mention that [Queryable] attribute in Get method(s) needs to be removed in order for the global rule to apply.
