Hai Experts,

Am looking a little bit clarification about OData service with entity metadata.

Can i fetch the specific entity metadata through ODataClient? In detail, ODataClient used the 'MetadataDocumentUri' to fetch all entities which are exposed to public.

Instead of that can i fetch any particular metadata, i mean any single entity?

Hi Jayakrishnan,

You can type address like this--[Your organization's root URL]/data/Customers-- to look the collection of all customers.

Type this--[Your organization's root URL]/data/Customers("[key]")-- to find a single entity from the collection.

Type this--[Your organization's root URL]/data/Customers("[key]")/FirstName--to find the customer's first name.

You can also use ‘filter’ to filter out the data you want.

OData also enables an SQL-like language that lets you create rich queries against the database, so that the results include only the data items that you want.

Please read this DOC and you can learn more about it.

Hope this helps.

Hi partner,

Ah, OK, I misunderstood.

You have to build a proxy class and then you can instantiate the data entity objects, set properties, and call methods to interact with the OData endpoint.
