What is the correct way to call patch from an OData client in Web Api 2

Question

Following the OData samples created by the web api team, my controller has the following for supporting Patch:

public HttpResponseMessage Patch([FromODataUri] in         


        

Answer 1

The client side property tracking is now supported from Microsoft.OData.Client version 6.2.0. It will detect only the modified properties of an entity and send the update request as PATCH instead of PUT to meet the requirement of your scenario.
