  WebAPI and IQueryable

  Feb 24, 2012 06:14 PM|LINK

  I am exposing an entity model using ASP.NET MVC 4.  I have created a controller that is based on ApiController and I have a method:

  public IQueryable<ClaimHeader> GetClaimHeader()
          {
              return CreateDataContext().ClaimHeaders;
          }

  When I call the method from the URL of my browser like:

  localhost/MRABusinessClaimWeb/api/Query/ClaimHeader?$filter=Neg eq 'LAM'

  It works and results are returned.  

  However, I want to use the SELECT functionality of the ODATA protocol so I tried:

   localhost/MRABusinessClaimWeb/api/Query/ClaimHeader?$filter=Neg eq 'LAM'&$select=Neg 

    This returns the entire record and does not limit the result set just to the "Neg" field.  Is this expected behavior or a bug?

  $select is not supported and there doesn't appear to be plans to support $select
