Strongly typed helpers to work with OData
Instead of littering your .NET OData queries with strings (context.AddLink("Products") context.Orders.Expand("Product")), you can use strongly typed helpers to simplify your development.
A Facade over DataServiceContext is also provided, called ODataLambdaContext. ODataLambdaContext has these methods and properties:
TContext InnerContext { get; private set; }
DataServiceQuery<T> Query<T>()
void Add<T>(T entity)
void Attach<T>(T entity)
void Detach<T>(T entity)
void Delete<T>(T entity)
void Update<T>(T entity)
void Save()
void SetLink<TSource, TProperty>(TSource source, Expression<Func<TSource, TProperty>> sourceProperty, object target)
void AddLink<TSource, TProperty>(TSource source, Expression<Func<TSource, TProperty>> sourceProperty, object target)
void DeleteLink<TSource, TProperty>(TSource source, Expression<Func<TSource, TProperty>> sourceProperty, object target)
void AttachLink<TSource, TProperty>(TSource source, Expression<Func<TSource, TProperty>> sourceProperty, object target)
void DetachLink<TSource, TProperty>(TSource source, Expression<Func<TSource, TProperty>> sourceProperty, object target)
void LoadProperty<T, TProperty>(T entity, Expression<Func<T, TProperty>> property)
void LoadProperty<T, TProperty>(T entity, Expression<Func<T, TProperty>> property, DataServiceQueryContinuation<T> continuation)
void LoadAllProperties<T>(T entity)
