it:ad:asp.net:webapi:howto:odata:Select Between Queryable WebApiController And ODataController
Summary
Cutting right to the chase – yes, you can decorate a straightforward ApiController with the Queryable – but you want the ODataController in almost all cases.
Notes
- Web API (with basic OData query support) came out before they released.
- Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.OData, where
ODataControllerwad defined – offering more compliance with the Odata spec than what was offered earlier – came out later1).
