ODATA DATE QUERY

Question

How is the qu

Answer 1

In addition I want to say that you can also use LINQPAD for generation OData requests. You should make LINQ request and LINQPAD will generate correct URI. For example:

• Linq:

from ev in Events where ev.Start >= DateTime.Now.Date select ev

• LINQPAD generates Odata URI:

  http://yoursite/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/Events()?$filter=Start ge datetime'2013-12-05T00:00:00+01:00'

• Adjust it to correct format. In my case I delete "+01:00".

Also you can use Visual studio to get Odata request.
