Expose Azure Table Storage as OData

I have an table in the Azure Table Storage populated with different implementations of the base TableSer开发者_运维知识库viceEntity. Does anybody howto expose this through OData? Are there some best practices available?

There is another solutation as well. Might be more complex but I use it it in one off my projects.

I have a table that has multiple different TableServiceEntities. But when I query the table, I .take(100) for example, I want all the different types at once.

This link has helped me quite a bit:

the answer can be found in this article: How to access table storage entities without knowing the schema . Overriding the ReadingEntity event on the TableServiceContext will give you the opportunity to map the unknown datatypes to the available types. The article shows the exact code too.
