I have tried this in both VS 2013 and 2012. VS 2013 doesn't seem to work at all if targeting EF 6.0.

Anyway, with VS 2012, I see the XML, as shown in the book, but when I add Categories to the end of the url, all I get to see is 8 lines (matching the number of records in the table) but the contents of each line is simply the current date and time. If I use the $select option to specify field names, I still only get to see the system date/time.

What can I check to see where it is going wrong? I believe I followed all steps precisely.

See http://blogs.msdn.com/b/odatateam/ar...ramework-6.aspx

In Package Manager Console "Install-Package Microsoft.OData.EntityFrameworkProvider -Pre"

Also make sure Microsoft.Data.Services reference is version 5.6.0.0.
