If you are following through the example on creating custom data service providers as on this blog:
And you notice that your entities are not showing up in the $metadata file, double check that you have added this:
public class service : MyNewDataService { // This method is called only once to initialize service-wide policies. public static void InitializeService(DataServiceConfiguration config) { config.SetEntitySetAccessRule("*", EntitySetRights.AllRead); config.DataServiceBehavior.MaxProtocolVersion = DataServiceProtocolVersion.V2; } }
Just remember to set the entity set access rules for all entities - other they won't show up!
