Getting started with Simple.Data OData provider

The easiest way to start using Simple.Data OData provider is to install it’s Nuget package. In Visual Studio open Package Manager console and type the following:

Install-Package Simple.Data.OData

You will see output similar to this:

Attempting to resolve dependency 'Simple.Data.Core (≥ 0.18.1.0)'.
Successfully installed 'Simple.Data.OData 0.10.0'.
Successfully added 'Simple.Data.OData 0.10.0' to SimpleODataTest.

In the source file where you will be using OData provider import namespaces:

using Simple.Data;
using Simple.Data.OData;

Create an instance of dynamic database object that will be used to communication with OData feed:

dynamic db = Database.Opener.Open("http://packages.nuget.org/v1/FeedService.svc/");

Now you can start retrieving data from the OData server using Simple.Data syntax:

var package = db.Packages.FindByTitle("Simple.Data.OData");
Console.WriteLine(package.Title);
