Hello unchase,
I have this error when trying to create an odata connected service to web service on page 21 (business central) :
Generating Client Proxy for OData V3...
Erreur :Échec de l'ajout de Unchase OData Connected Service au projet : Le schéma spécifié n'est pas valide. Erreurs :
(0,0) : erreur 0005: L'attribut 'Name' n'est pas valide - La valeur '_Balance_LCY_Payment_in_progress_LCY' n'est pas valide selon son type de données 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/05/edm:TSimpleIdentifier' - Échec de la contrainte Pattern.
Any Idea ?

@gtrennert, сould you send the metadata file (or public URI) for the service to be added so that I can check the issue?
You can send it to me by email (see in my github profile).

@gtrennert. OData library does not support a naming in form of "_Balance_LCY_Payment_in_progress_LCY", and the Connected service too.
If you can, try to rename this parameter without "_" in the beginning.

P.S. I removed the first "_" in "_Balance_LCY_Payment_in_progress_LCY" (in metadata file) => "Balance_LCY_Payment_in_progress_LCY" and it works!

[gtrennert]

I understand what you are saying, but I'm just testing web service access for Business central, its microsoft standard and I just don't understand why there is a leading underscore.
Web services in business central should work without any modification of standard tables (modifications which are no prohibited in this product)

[unchase]

I agree. In any case, the client code generator cannot correctly handle this naming.

[gtrennert]

I will create a new page in which I will exclude all this fields beginning with _
Thanks a lot for your answers

[unchase]

@gtrennert, you're welcome.

In Visual Studio 2017, on trying to add an OData Connected Service, I get the error below:-
Adding OData Connected Service to the project failed: The current schema element does not support text 'NAV.NavType/Real'. Any thoughts?

Hi. There is no attached files. Can you send again to spiritkola@hotmail.com?

[nick-webbgh]

I did attach the file last time. Maybe it got blocked. I’ve zipped it this time.

Hello again unchase,
I have the following issue - when configuring a metadata endpoint I get the following type of messages : see picture joined

As I may have many web services published with the path "https://bc190709:7048/NAV/OData/$metadata" I get many of this messages and after confirming the first ones I get errors. Is there a way to avoid this messages ?
I also tried to enter longer urls like https://bc190709:7048/NAV/OData/Company('CRONUS%20FR')/TestOdata but then I get error message :
