Last week during the Windows 8 and Windows Phone camp in Zwolle, the Netherlands I talked about Data access on Windows 8 and Windows Phone. This blog post is a recap of the access of OData on Windows 8 and Windows Phone part of my talk, a separate post will go into the “Local” storage side of things (ApplicationData, IsolatedStorage, SQLite).
The first things I mentioned that makes life easier when wanting to access OData on Windows 8 and Windows Phone is to download the OData Client Tools. These tools add “Add Service Reference…” support to your Windows 8 and Windows Phone projects for OData services, as well as adding a set of extensions to generate the proxy classes for the OData feed.
