c# - How to serve utility data in Odata? -

i want have utilitycontroller utility methods serve info in odata api in microsoft asp.net. if want implement controller based on entity product have productcontroller edmmodelbuit

builder.entityset<product>("product");

with other types if in product type e.g.

builder.entityset<productgroup>("productgroup");

now solution if want have controller utilitycontroller methods getanylist, getoffertypes , putnewenumtypeinofferbase , not have utility type etc, utility info related entity or may not. e.g

public class utilitycontroller : odatacontroller { private dbcontext db = new dbcontext(); public list<string> getofferbase() { homecoming utilityservice.getofferbase(); } protected override void dispose(bool disposing) { db.dispose(); base.dispose(disposing); } }

then can utility info

http://localhost:47120/odata/utility/getofferbase

unbound function/action match requirement. applying them, can send such requests not need entity set:

1. http://host/odata/getofferbase 2. post http://host/odata/putnewenumtypeinofferbase

to add together unbound function/action need this:

odataconventionmodelbuilder builder = new odataconventionmodelbuilder(); builder.function actionconfiguration putnewenumtypeinofferbase = modelbuilder.action("putnewenumtypeinofferbase"); putnewenumtypeinofferbase .parameter<string>("title"); putnewenumtypeinofferbase .returnsfromentityset<movie>("movies"); builder.function("getsalestaxrate") .returns<double>() .parameter<string>("state");
