I am currently following this guide -> Link to asp.net website
As the guide says I added all the necessary packages via the nuget console and added the necessary usings to the WebApIConfig file. . But when I added the endpoint register method VS gave me an error.
The method I added:
public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
{
// New code:
ODataModelBuilder builder = new ODataConventionModelBuilder();
builder.EntitySet<Product>("Products");
config.MapODataServiceRoute(
routeName: "ODataRoute",
routePrefix: null,
model: builder.GetEdmModel());
}
The Error VS gave me:
Error 1 'System.Web.Http.HttpConfiguration' does not contain a definition for 'MapODataServiceRoute' and no extension method 'MapODataServiceRoute' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.Http.HttpConfiguration' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) C:\Users\rvcamp\Desktop\odataTest\odataTest\App_Start\WebApiConfig.cs 29 20 odataTest
I checked the comments of the guide but this error is not mentioned, also I can not resolve the error either. What am I doing wrong?
I just had this problem. Very frustrating.
I resolved it by adding this in the references at the top of the code page
using System.Web.OData.Extensions;
Right clicking the method did not bring up the resolve menu item either.
Reinstalling everything did no resolve anything for me.
