NET Webapi Odata Client中的http：// localhost / Odata / User（1）/ Contacts等效项

Question

I am working on an WebApi based OData service with navigated properties. I can get results using filter and contacts however what i am interested is in whether is there a way of expressing in .net which would resolve in Contacts query to the server. The goal is to achieve the result by using the proxy classes generated on client side.

http://mydevserver/Odata/User(1)/Contacts

Trying This

Dim query = From c In cont.User.Expand("Contacts") Where c.Id = userId

Results In

 http://localhost/Odata/User(1)?$expand=Contacts  

Gives me This I have tried using LINQ and inline query but i cannot produce exact same query. If i run that same in fiddler. I can see the results of the related contacts for the user. May be i am missing something. Can please somebody point me in right direction. Thanks

Answer 1

Suppose you are using OData Client, You can try following codes.

    Dim queryUser = (From p In cont.UserWhere c.Id = userId).First()
    Dim contact As QueryOperationResponse(Of Contact) = cont.LoadProperty(queryUser, "Contacts")

This code will send two request:

~/Odata/User(1)

~/Odata/User(1)/Contacts
