Integrate OData Sources in .NET

While the OData .NET C# data connector focuses primarily on connecting and querying, you can use it alongside other .NET Standard and .NET Framework components to do much more.

  • Integrate OData sources with DataCollection to provide filtering, grouping, and data virtualization to your data-aware controls
  • Import data from OData to DataEngine to analyze massive amounts of data in fractions of a second
  • Connect your data to pivot grids & charts, such as FlexPivot, to analyze data visually
  • Create business reports using FlexReport for essential business tasks
  • Display any OData in a .NET datagrid using the FlexGrid control in desktop, web, or mobile devices.
