Introduction
Along with the
Announcing .NET 5 preview 1, it’s time to move OData to .NET 5. This blog is intended to describe how easy to move the
BookStore sample introduced in
ASP.NET Core OData now Available onto .NET 5.
Let's get started.
Install .NET 5
.NET 5 SDK is required to build the .NET 5 application. So, Let’s follow up the instructions in
Announcing .NET 5 preview 1 to install the .NET 5 SDK.
Meanwhile, I also install the Visual Studio 2019 Preview to edit and compile the .NET 5 project. It's easy to download Visual Studio 2019 Preview from
here. The required VS version supporting .NET 5 is 16.6.

BookStore project to .NET 5 when we finish the installation of .NET 5.
Just open the
BookStore solution, double click the project, then edit the "

Startup.cs.

Then, in
Configure() method, change its content as below:
Be noted, the parameter
‘IHostingEnvironment’ of
Configure() should change to use “
IWebHostEnvironment’.
Query the Resources
That’s all. Now, we can build and run the book store application.
For example:
We can file a GET request as :
http://localhost:5001/odata/Books(2)
And the response returns the second book as follows:
The application also supports the advanced OData query options like:
http://localhost:5001/odata/Books?$filter=Price le 50&$expand=Press($select=Name)&$select=ISBN,Location($select=Street)
The response payload should look like:
