I am using OData v3. How do I pass a parameter to an OData controller and return a collection? Example of what I am trying to do:

Answer 1

This was recently fixed with the release of version 5.7 (@odata.count is now returned for collections of complex types). More info here: https://github.com/OData/WebApi/issues/484#issuecomment-153929767

Answer 2

Try this sample, CheckoutMany method take parameter and return a collection https://github.com/OData/ODataSamples/tree/master/WebApi/v3/ODataActionsSample

Add [EnableQuery] attribute in the CheckOutMany action method, and add $inlinecount queryoption in requset url, you can see odata.count in payload

By the way, V4 support datetime now: http://odata.github.io/WebApi/#04-01-datetime-support
