WCF Data Services: MaxProtocolVersion set at v2 despite Service set at v3. Ends up Throwing error on OfType()

I'm having a problem that when I attempt to do a linq query against my odata service with the OfType() method, I get an error saying that the request isn't valid for a Version 2 service. I have created the WCF Data Service and have set the MaxProtocolVersion to v3.

public class TestDirectorySearch : DataService<TestDirectoryEntities>
{
    public static void InitializeService(DataServiceConfiguration config)
    {
        config.SetEntitySetAccessRule("*", EntitySetRights.AllRead);
        config.SetEntitySetPageSize("*", 50);

        config.UseVerboseErrors = true;
        config.DataServiceBehavior.MaxProtocolVersion = System.Data.Services.Common.DataServiceProtocolVersion.V3;
    }
}

My edmx has the following line:

<edmx:DataServices m:DataServiceVersion="1.0" 
    m:MaxDataServiceVersion="3.0" 
    xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata">

When I attempt to do the following query I get an error saying that the "The method 'OfType' is not supported when MaxProtocolVersion is less than '3.0'."

from test in context.Tests.OfType<OrderableTest>()
    where test.TestRevisionId.Equals(mmt.RevisionId)
    select new
    {
            Reflex = test.ReflexTest
            , ShipTemp = (test.SpecimenTemperature == null) ? null : test.SpecimenTemperature.DisplayDescription
    }).FirstOrDefault();

If I check the MaxProtocolVersion of my context, it is set at v2. At what point is this failing? What can I do to set this correctly?

Exact error:

{"The method 'OfType' is not supported when MaxProtocolVersion is less than '3.0'."}

Solution

  • This is an error on the client. The DataServiceContext has to be constructed with V3 in order to support V3 features (like OfType). DataServiceContext has a new constructor overload which takes the MaxProtocolVersion parameter. Make sure that you use it and pass in V3.
