OData: AtomPub format: possible to fill in the feed.entry.title field
Hey experts!
I have an amazing idea to unleash tremendous powers with LightSwitch, (as always :-)), that makes use of the new OData features in LS 11.
However, my idea quickly stranded because it would need the "feed.entry.title" field to be filled in. According to Matt Thalman (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/LightSwitchDev11Beta/thread/7de404e9-83ab-4333-9dc3-50819a2454b2), this was not implemented by design, but would be nice to see implemented non-the-less. I personally suggest simply filling in the selected entities "summary" property, the simplest thing that could work...
To make it clear what I "need", I created a random (and I mean totally random) LightSwitch application, and looked at the ApplicationData.svc/Table1Items url. It returns me the following:
<entry m:etag="W/"'Pieter',17,'Hallo'"">
<id>http://localhost:62978/ApplicationData.svc/Table1Items(1)</id>
<category scheme="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/scheme" term="LightSwitchApplication.Table1Item"/>
<link title="Table1Item" href="Table1Items(1)" rel="edit"/>
<title/> <!-- THIS field right here is what I need to be filled in -->
