OData expanding null | 易学教程

问题

When using OData and if one of the properties that are being expanded is null i get this error. Is there anyway to solve this? The output I expect is for the expanded property to be null not throw any exception.

<m:error xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata">

<m:message xml:lang="en-US">An error has occurred.</m:message>

回答1:

It seems to be a bug in webapi.odata:

https://aspnetwebstack.codeplex.com/workitem/1937

But I think the current behavior is to skip the null expanded property rather than throw exception.

Can you try updating the reference to latest version?
