OData using token based authentication

[abdul1224]

I am using 'DataPresenter.DataSources.OData' project for binding Xamdatagrid using ODataDataSource, how can we use endpoints(API) with Authentications (Basic / Token based), as there are no properties defined in the sample to pass the header information for API?

Hi,
Yeah, these reference data adapters aren't super configurable as of yet. The intent was that, until we discovered all the most meaningful configuration points that you could just modify the code to suit your purposes, which is why we made these open source.

However, we did mean to have a basic configuration hook whereby we'd raise an event to let you configure the underlying Odata client at the appropriate time. Looks like this isn't there yet though. We can try to get this in there soon, if think such a thing would suit your purposes? In the meantime, you could modify the client configuration logic in a fork, for your purposes.

For reference, the OdataClient is configured here:

DataSource-Reference-Implementations/ODataDataProvider/ODataVirtualDataSourceDataProviderWorker.cs

Line 93 in 4f7e110

_client = new ODataClient(new ODataClientSettings(_baseUri)
