c# - Web Api OData: A null value was detected in the items of a collection property value -

i want return following records odata:

player {     numbers: [1, null, 3] }

"numbers" being collection of nullable items (say ienumerable). odata has problem if of items in numbers collection null:

a null value detected in items of collection property value; non-streaming instances of collection types not support null values items.

is there way around it?

i'm using web api odata 2.2 (v3)

thanks, stevo

try defining numbers property this:

public ienumerable<int?> numbers { get; set; }

i've tested such poco definition in-memory data:

numbers = new int?[]{1,null,2}

and works fine v4 service written using web api:

numbers: [     1,     null,     2 ],

i believe should work v3 service.
