我目前正在开发mvc4 web api odata服务,我希望返回用户列表中的用户列表。当我想要获得用户时,我收到以下错误:

错误:

<m:innererror>

我的用户看起来像这样:

public class User
{
    [Key]
    public int UserId { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public string UserName { get; set; }

    public string Password { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<Language> Languages { get; set; }

    public User()
    {
        Languages = new List<Language>();
    }
}

我的OData用户控制器如下所示:

public class UsersController : EntitySetController<User, int>
{
    WorldChatContext db = new WorldChatContext();

    public override IQueryable<User> Get()
    {
        return db.Users.AsQueryable();
    }

    protected override User GetEntityByKey(int key)
    {
        return db.Users.FirstOrDefault(p => p.UserId == key);
    }

    public override HttpResponseMessage Post(User entity)
    {
        db.Users.Add(entity);
        db.SaveChanges();
        return base.Post(entity);
    }
}

我正在调用我在路由中设置的以下网址:http://127.0.0.1:81/odata/Users如果我在我的用户模型中评论导航属性,它会有效。

我做错了什么?我已经尝试将[Serializable,KnownType(typeof(Language))]放在我的用户类之上但由于某种原因我不能使用KnownType。如何使用此导航属性使我的OData工作?

您缺少为语言设置的实体。导航属性指向实体,必须绑定到实体集。在模型构建器代码中,添加此行以解决问题。

builder.EntitySet<Language>("languages");

这样做是为了创建实体集'languages'。约定模型构建器将导航属性绑定到实体集(如果有)。因此,实体类型Languages上的导航属性User将绑定到实体集languages
