Upcoming edits to the OData Explorer.

  • Artigo

This blog post outlines some key changes to the OData Explorer which should be published soon.
Take a look below and let me know what you think.The overall theme is simplicity ,
we’ve removed a lot of superfluous cruft in the UI . Also, moving to OData Library and
Edm Library has helped me get rid of pesky bugs that existed in the last version.

Add new workspace window

AddnewWorkspace

Browse collections exposed by an OData Service.

 

SelectCollection 

 

Get first 50 rows from a collection in the OData Service.

SelectProducts 

Filter by reference navigation properties in the Query Builder menu.

If a type Product has a  1:1 relationship with Categories, you can filter a Products by properties of its
Category.

Clicking on “Edit” next to each row in the grid brings up the edit menu which allows you to :

Edit property values and save to the server .

    I am glad it is stil alive. It is a good program and an example of how great OData is. I cover the OData explorer and LightSwitch here: lightswitchhelpwebsite.com/.../Using-The-OData-Explorer-with-LightSwitch-OData.aspx
