nuODataWin

nuODataWin is a NuGet package that provides a library for consuming OData (Open Data Protocol) services within Windows applications. It facilitates the interaction with OData endpoints, enabling developers to retrieve, update, and delete data exposed by these services. The library aims to simplify the process of integrating OData data sources into Windows desktop applications, Windows Store apps, and other Windows-based environments.

The core functionality of nuODataWin revolves around the creation of OData client proxies. These proxies allow developers to define strongly-typed client-side objects that map directly to the entities exposed by the OData service. This approach enhances code maintainability and reduces the likelihood of runtime errors that can arise from manual string manipulation for OData queries.

nuODataWin supports various OData features, including querying data with filters, sorting, and pagination. It also handles different data types and complex structures commonly found in OData services. The package aims to abstract away much of the underlying HTTP communication and OData protocol specifics, allowing developers to focus on the business logic of their applications. It is designed to be compatible with different versions of the OData protocol, offering flexibility for developers working with a variety of OData service implementations. Developers can typically install nuODataWin via the NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio.
